I do not agree – Luis Enrique

Luis Enrique built a very entertaining side, east of the stars in previous years, but owned Gail in the midfield and the speed of an attack.

While the former Barcelona coach respected Arsenal, he did not agree with the ARTETA evaluation.

He said: “Mikel Artita is a great friend, but I do not agree at all.

“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 repeated, 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.”

Rice wants prizes

Arsenal finished second in the last two Premier League seasons and is currently sitting second again.

Midfielder Diklan Rice, the champion of the quarter -finals against Real Madrid, says disappointment before joy.

He said: “We are all desperate for that (a cup). That is why we play football, we want to win prizes, we want to be at the top, our victory. For any reason, it was not supposed to be.

“We were really close and not good enough. Arsenal deserves to be paid for prizes and win things but there is not much that we can do. Many stars have suffered from defeats to go out in the foreground.

“This is painful, you see the children, the manager. We wanted to be in Munich, but this does not specify us and we will go back.”
