Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted that his team struggled in the opening 15 minutes of their 1-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.

Ousmane Dembele scored the only goal as PSG claimed a slim advantage in the Champions League semi-final first leg.

Arteta, speaking to Amazon Prime after the game, claimed they should have gotten a draw at least.

He said: “Disappointed with the result.

“We put so much into the game. We struggled in the first 10-15 minutes to get momentum and dominance.

“Disappointed not to get a draw at least.”

On Dembele’s goal, Arteta added: “That is always the danger, credit to them. They get out of a situation that is close.

“We had seven players behind the ball, and they were clinical. Sometimes you just have to recognize the talent of the individual.”
