Arteta: The Draw is Frustrating, and the Situation of Partey and Jorginho

Arsenal star Mikel Arteta made statements to the press after the 1-1 draw against Brentford in the 32nd round of the Premier League.

The coach said: "It's frustrating because we dropped two points. Based on what we showed in the match, how we dominated, and what we conceded, I believe we did enough to win. Against Brentford, if you don't defend well on set pieces, whether it's the first chance or the second, they will punish you severely."

He added: "We had a chance in front of an open goal with Bukayo, and we didn't capitalize on it to make it 2-0. With the score remaining 1-0, the match is always open."

Regarding Jorginho's injury: "I don't know. He said he can't breathe well, so it could be a rib injury. This is strange because Jorgi usually continues to play, so I think it's quite serious."

On Thomas Partey's injury: "Thomas is suffering from a problem, so I substituted him. I don't know if he will be present against Real Madrid; I haven't spoken to the doctors yet."

He continued: "Yes, it's definitely a missed opportunity because we wanted to win and increase our chances in the league, but we didn't succeed. We have to be critical of ourselves, especially in the way we conceded the goal."

He concluded: "Are you thinking about the match on Wednesday against Real Madrid? With the way we played today? Definitely not. And with the feeling the players had? Also no. To prepare well, you have to play your best and win the next match.
