Mikel Arteta lost for words as Arsenal boss frustrated after Bayern Munich loss

Arsenal's hopes in the Champions League were dashed as they fell short against Bayern Munich in the quarter-final second leg. Despite tying 2-2 in the first leg, the Gunners couldn't replicate their performance at the Allianz Arena.

Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli failed to make an impact, and Arteta acknowledged that Arsenal should have capitalized on their home advantage in the first leg. Reflecting on the defeat, Arteta expressed his frustration and admitted he struggled to find the right words to motivate his players.

Despite dominating at times, Arsenal couldn't find the spark they needed to secure a victory. Arteta emphasized the fine margins in football and stood by his players, acknowledging their efforts throughout the season.

The defeat comes after a setback in the Premier League, further denting Arsenal's hopes of silverware this season. However, Arteta remains optimistic, urging his team to bounce back and maintain their focus in the remaining league matches.

Bayern striker Harry Kane praised his team's resilience and hailed their achievement in reaching the semi-finals. He emphasized the importance of staying focused and determined in their pursuit of Champions League success.

While disappointed, Arsenal and their fans will look ahead with determination, knowing that they must regroup and strive for success in future competitions.
