Luis Enrique on Mikel Artita, saying that Arsenal was better

Luis Enrique, Paris Saint -Germain director, insists that he does not believe that Arsenal was the best team in the semi -finals of the Champions League.

This is although the Gunners Mike Artta coach demands it immediately after the match that this is what Paris Saint -Germain told him after the final whistle.

Arsenal is now estimated to finish the cup Once again this season after losing 3-1 to the total to the PSG in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Arteta was clearly proud of how his team playedThey then claimed that he felt that they had taken control, and that PSG staff also approved it.

Look below to get ARTETA quotes about what it claims that Paris Saint -Germain was telling him, according to Fabrizio Romano …

Arteta may not be completely honest here, because Enrique definitely does not seem to share this opinion when it occurs.

Luis Enrique denies what Mikel Artita said about Arsenal

Enrique said, ” BBC Sport.

“They played smart and got the match with the right moment for them because they played the way they wanted, and the way they love. But in the legs we scored more than them, and this is the most important thing in football.

“Arsenal played a great match, and we suffered, but we deserve to reach the final.

“They are a great team, but I repeat, we scored more goals, we played in a wonderful way in the first stage, and the second half of the second stage was a different match, and we could have scored more goals.”

What do statistics say about PSG Vs Arsenal?

Arteta may have been misleading about what Paris Saint -Germain says, but statistics seem to support his allegations about the extent of Arsenal playing.

In Parc Des Prinles last night, AFC was more possessed, more shots, and XG higher than their opponents.

	PSG	Arsenal
Holding	45.9 %	54.1 %
Shots	11	19
Steps on the target	6	4
Xg	1.74	3.14

Of course, there were ways that Arsenal could have done better, but the main issue on my legs is to finish this, so the signature of a new striker in the summer should be an urgent priority for the northern London giants.
