The elimination of Arsenal from the Champions League by Bayern Munich has been attributed by manager Mikel Arteta to the team’s lack of experience.
In the second leg clash in Germany, the Gunners were deadlocked at 2-2 with their opponents.
Despite some opportunities to surge ahead, it was a powerful header from Joshua Kimmich that sealed the game in Bayern Munich’s favor with a 1-0 victory.
Bayern Munich will now face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the prestigious competition.
Reflecting on the defeat in an interview with TNT Sports, Arteta stated, “We faced a team with a wealth of experience and the fine margins in the tie were evident. There were instances where we performed better.”
“We gifted them two goals, which significantly tilted the balance in their favor. This lack of error margin was apparent, and our defensive lapse in the box that led to the goal was a pivotal mistake. Subsequently, the challenge became arduous. We explored various strategies, but the task was formidable.”
