Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta appeared in press statements, after beating Shakhtar 1-0 in the Champions League, on the Emirates Stadium.


The coach said: "I'm very happy with the result. It's always difficult in the Champions League. We should have scored more in the first half and in the second half we felt a little tired. Playing 60 minutes with ten men a few days ago is difficult. We left the game a bit open but we fought back." To get three points."


On missing the penalty kick: "I don't know if it was due to fatigue. Credit goes to Shakhtar, they are brave when you give them time on the ball And if you lose the ball, you will suffer. I don't know why Kai Havertz didn't take the penalty kick. He's one of the takers, but Trossard took it."


On Gabriel Martinelli: "He was really good. He looked really sharp tonight. You could see he was active today after not starting at the weekend.” “Those moments are really confident, connected to the team and in great condition.”


Regarding Calafiore’s injury: “He felt something and was unable to continue in the match, which is a bit worrying.”


He concluded: “Saka has not trained yet, so he will not be available.”
