Arsenal lost 2-1 away from home in Champions League on Tuesday. Manager Mikel Arteta addresses press after the game:

"They are a really good side, exceptional opponent.

"We took the lead and then in one action they managed to score. We had a big chance straight after the break.”

The Spaniard identified that there were problems both in attack and defence in their performance.

"In many occasions we attacked the space - but it was [decided] in the boxes. We missed some big chances and didn't defend well enough for their goals,” he continued.

"Mistakes happen in football and they will continue to be there somehow but the difference was made in both boxes. You have to put the ball in the back of the net and defend well.

"It was a big night for us. We weren't able to take the result we wanted but we were able to learn."
