00:00Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has said that his side deserved more as they were dumped

00:05out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain.

00:07First of all, congratulate PSG for being in the final.

00:12Talking about merits, I think we deserve much more.

00:16When you analyze both games, who has been their best player, their MVP, has been the

00:20same player, their goalkeeper, and the Champions League has decided in the boxes and he's won

00:26the game for them because obviously today after 20 minutes and what happened in London

00:31as well, the results should have been very different.

00:34So I can take a lot of positives and I'm very proud of the team.

00:39You have to arrive in the competition at this stage with your full squad, full available,

00:43in best condition.

00:44We haven't got that.

00:46So let's put that aside.

00:47It's still the team that I've seen today against probably one of the best or not the best team

00:51in Europe.

00:52It gives me so much pride, but at the same time I'm so upset.

00:56I'm so annoyed that we didn't manage to do it and two things that are on us, probably

01:02not together and other things that obviously the opponent at this level has the quality

01:07to deliver like Donnarumma is on today again.

01:11And Tottenham head coach Ange Postacoglu has confirmed that James Madison will not only

01:16miss Spurs' Europa League semi-final second leg away at Bodo Glimt, but that he will also

01:21be out for the remainder of the season, meaning if Spurs were to get to the final he would

01:26not be available for it.

01:27This is a huge blow for Tottenham as a club.

01:33Yeah, Matt is obviously from the first leg.

01:37He obviously tweaked his knee in the first leg and yeah, so he's out.

01:44He'll miss the rest of the season and disappointing for him because he's been a big part of sort

01:50of this latter part of the season, particularly in Europe for us.

01:54Yeah, disappointing for him more than anything else because he was a big catalyst for us and

02:00he misses out.

02:01But yeah, that's been also a constant of our season of dealing with these things.

02:05So, you know, we'll just overcome that and then everyone else from the first leg travelled

02:12and ready to go.

02:13And ready to go.

02:14And ready to go.
