Mikel Arteta

The game had moments in the first half and we were...

Very good.

We had the best chance of the game so far to put it 1-0 and then the game would have been different.

In the second half we started not so great and the first 15-20 minutes we had problems sitting too deep and then giving the ball away straight away too many occasions.

But the reality is that they had two shots and scored two goals and that's the level as well.

What's your overall feeling about how your team have played?

Do you have that sort of...

nagging sense on the big day, you didn't quite deliver your best level?

There are two different halves.

I think the first half, one that is very positive and the second half in every sense and the second half, especially the first 20, 25 minutes, a different one.

But as well, you have to give credit to the position and the level that they have.

And that's not a coincidence that what they've done in the last 10 years.

What happened in that phase of the game?

We were imprecise on time, we had the opportunities to break them through, we gave the ball away when we regained the ball, we gave it straight back and then they had momentum in deep which

They're going to do at times because, as I said, they are really good on that.

And then, yeah, without really creating nothing, they scored the first goal out of nothing and three minutes later the second one.

There are a lot of things and it's not the moment to talk about that.

Which I am.

That will be the headline from that, I guess.

I will do it again because he deserves to play this game and he's been phenomenal for us.
