May 8th In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Paris defeated Arsenal 2-1 and double-killed his opponent to advance to the finals 3-1. After the game, Arteta took Marginhos as an example and hoped that the players would turn pain into motivation.

"Yes, 100% (sad), you have to face these difficult moments and cheer up again, Marginhos in the locker room next door is a good example."

"I think he has tried to win the Champions League 11 times and then failed 11 times. For him, every season he is striving for the Champions League, he still keeps fighting, holds his head up and makes these attempts happen again."

"We performed well, but it's still heartbreaking. It's definitely not enough to say 'We almost won, we played very well, and most of the time we are better than them'. It must be heartbreaking, otherwise history will repeat itself. We have to do something, there are more possibilities and more choices, and that's what we're going to do next."
