May 8 According to the British media METRO, Wenger said in an interview that he did not agree with Arteta's statement that Arsenal is a better-performing team.

In the Champions League semi-final, Paris eliminated Arsenal 3-1 with a total score, continuing their outstanding performance in the European arena. Paris will play Inter in the final. Paris won 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium and 2-1 at the Princes Stadium, and finally advanced with a total score of 3-1, which brought a heavy blow to Arsenal. After the game, Arteta said that Arsenal was a "better team" in two rounds, and even believed that Arsenal was the best team in this year's Champions League.

To this, Arteta said: "Looking at these two games, their best player is the goalkeeper, he played a decisive role in the game, which says it all. We are very close, closer than the results show, but unfortunately we were out. I am proud of the players. In the first 20 minutes, the score should be 3-0. In this kind of game, you need some extra factors to help you, but this time not. We were better than them for a long time, but we didn't advance, which hurts. I think 100% of the time, there is no better team than Arsenal in the game I've seen, but we're out."

However, former Arsenal coach Wenger disagrees with Arteta, who thinks Paris is "better than Arsenal" in the two leg games.

Winger said in an interview: "Tonight we saw a different Paris, they were not relying on possession or gorgeous football, but on not losing the ball and fighting back. I think they were also strong on the mental level. When they missed the penalty, they still stuck, and Arsenal had another issue of not being able to score. Overall, in two games, I think they were better than Arsenal, they had more opportunities and were never really in danger, so congratulations to Paris. I said a long time ago that Paris is not far from winning the Champions League. Let's not forget that they also have the possibility of winning the doubles in France, winning the Champions League and the Club World Cup. This will be an extraordinary success for Enrique, Nasser and Paris."
