Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is looking to replicate Paris Saint-Germain’s style of play after Saturday’s loss in the UEFA Champions League final in Budapest.
The Gunners were defeated 4-3 on penalties after both sides played a 1-1 draw in extra time
The result in the Hungarian capital city continued Arsenal’s quest to win Europe’s premier club competition for the very first time after reaching their first final in 20 years.
When asked after the game if he will take something from PSG’s pattern, Arteta said: “Yes, and the individual action that they have for sure. Then you have to get into the competition with all the squad available in every moment, each player.
“We have had many more players than last season but not all of them in that condition for different reasons. That’s something that we have to improve on as well.”
Arteta sees positives from defeat
Despite the defeat, the Spaniard has taken positives from the North London side’s campaign which saw them as the only unbeaten inside 90 minutes throughout the competition.
“The same progression that we had in the last few years, we’re going to have to do that over again and the level is increasing every single season,” he added.
“We have had an incredible competition, we haven’t lost a single match in the competition, but the reality is that when something had to go our way, especially in the boxes with the penalty that was given against Mosquera and the penalty to Madueke and the penalty kicks, those margins didn’t go for us.”
