After Arsenal lost 3-1 to Manchester City, Mikel Arteta had a few things to say about that game.
“it is exceptionally difficult to play at the level they require you to play to have the chance to win and I think we’ve done it. In many moments, we had them.”
In his press conference after the match on February 15, 2023, Arsenal boss expressed disappointment with goals his club conceded in the crucial game.
“But if you give three goals away the way we did, and just give them the game, and especially when you don’t put big chances away, then the margin for error with them is almost zero.”
“It’s a shame because we really had them.”

On Arsenal’s next steps following the defeat, Arteta added: “Just move on. Realise why we lost the game.
“And I think we lost it. And we have to move on because the performance was there in many situations.
“For our team to play at the level that we have to reach is very difficult and the boys did exceptionally well.
“The atmosphere was incredible and the shame is we didn’t get the points”.
“In the end, the games are decided in the boxes. We have given too much away today and we weren’t ruthless enough to convert our chances. That’s what we have to improve”.
