The Gunners coach shared his thoughts after the game with Atalanta.

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta commented on the draw result in the opening match of the main stage of the Champions League against Atalanti (0:0).

" We played with the ball in the right zones and were effective, but did not create too many obvious chances. After that we lost control over the game, so we were even inconsistent with the ball, wasting a lot of simple balls.

In the other half, we were given a penalty, and I became proud of two of the shortest saves, as I sing in my career. After this game it lasted the same way as after the first 25 Khvylins. We've had a lot of meat. Moments were few and far between and did not bring it to the point of dominance or threat. We have a great chance with Martinelli to win the game, but not realize it. There is a lot of zagalom that needs to be painted.

It was a truly complex game in emotional terms. Whenever there were small moments that didn’t go according to plan, I felt that the team was losing discipline.. We have shown more maturity than the fate of the past - if you don’t have a way to overcome, you need to not lose. “Ale tse are definitely not the words I want to say to the team,” the club’s press service said to Arteta..
