11.29pm – Arteta’s press conference begins.
What do you think of this defeat?
“The worst thing of the evening is the result, not the performance against one of the strongest teams in Europe. We have some responsibility for the defeat, we could have scored at least two goals. And in the end there were two decisions that marked the result” .
What do you think about refereeing?
“I didn’t understand these two decisions, I didn’t understand the penalty and I didn’t understand why we weren’t given a penalty when Merino was hit in the face. There’s nothing we can do about it, unfortunately we have to accept and move on “.
Do you think the goal should be changed on handball?
“In the past they told us it wouldn’t have been a foul, but today it was another decision. Havertz? They gave him some points, let’s hope he’s ok for the next championship.”
Did you expect Inter to be so low?
“No, because there are two phases of the game and they are good at them, I’m not surprised by this. I repeat, the most negative thing is the result.”
Is Merino out because of the blow to the head?
“Yes, he doesn’t have any major problems but in the last two days he wasn’t at his best anyway.”
11.34pm – Arteta’s press conference concluded.
