Arteta calls Champions League loss 'very tough to accept'

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta described the Champions League defeat to Paris St Germain as "very tough to accept." He insisted his team "could easily" have been awarded a decisive penalty in extra time.

Arteta spoke after Arsenal's 2-1 Champions League quarter-final loss to Paris St Germain. The match ended 2-1 following extra time.

The Arsenal manager highlighted a potential penalty claim in the 105th minute. He argued the foul on Declan Rice in the box should have been penalised.

Paris St Germain advanced to the Champions League semi-finals. They will face Borussia Dortmund in the next round.

Arteta also praised his players despite the loss. He emphasised their effort and commitment throughout the tournament.
