‘I want it so badly’: PSG heartbreak fuelling Arsenal, says Arteta
Mikel Arteta admitted he tried but failed to overcome the disappointment of last season's Champions League final defeat by the Parisians.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta claims last season's Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain is motivating his team this season. The defeat, which saw Arteta's side beaten on penalties after a tense May final, appears to have ignited the Gunners. Arteta admitted he had struggled to move on from the heartbreak, but insisted his team was determined to avenge the loss.
Speaking ahead of their Wednesday match against Bayern Munich, Arteta stated that the defeat has spurred his players to strive for success. Despite Bayern's strong form, Arteta hopes to see some of their top players, including coach Vincent Kompany, in action. He praised Bayern's coaching and mindset but emphasized that Arsenal's defense will be crucial in the high-stakes encounter.
