Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to TNT Sports: "Yes, it is very tough to accept when you are so consistent in the competition all the way to the final and in the end you lose the trophy on penalty kicks, so it is a difficult one." Arsenal remain the team with the most games in European Cup/Champions League history to never lift the trophy (226). The Gunners' possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout.
