Arsenal were knocked out of the Champions League
Fans were not keen on the club’s response
Joshua Kimmich’s header was enough to separate the sides and send Bayern through 3-2 on aggregate.
However, fans were not in support of the club’s response to the result.
Arsenal’s official Twitter account posted: “A Champions League journey to be proud of”.
And supporters blasted the post as they flooded the comment section.
One fuming Gunner posted: “Proud of? We beat Porto on penalties and lost to the worst Bayern team in a decade. Pathetic.”
A second commented: “Not levels.. delete this tweet.”
A third wrote: “Proud of bottling? Embarrassing.”
A fourth replied: “We played like sh what’s to be proud of.”
A fifth said: “Nah nah nah nah they didn’t just say this. Nah deactivate. DEACTIVATE.”
Another added: “Proud of? Nothing to be proud of. Failed every single trophy as usual.”
After the painful defeat, Arteta shared with TNT Sports: “Currently, the dressing room is stuffy and very disappointing. I can’t find the right words to cheer them up; I wish I could.”
“We tried hard against a team with a lot of experience. Throughout the match, the margin was very small. There were times when we played better, but we let them score two goals and lost the advantage. That’s big.”
Arteta talked about the difference between the two teams: “Today you can see the error rate is zero. We made a big mistake in defending the penalty area and conceded. Then we tried Trying in many different ways to score but it’s difficult. Now it’s time for us to face the difference. It’s time to stay close to the players and support them because they are the ones who got us going this journey.”
Finally Arteta said: “The club hasn’t played in the Champions League for seven years. We would love to reach the semi-finals or the final in our first year back. You can see that at many other clubs , it took a lot of time, six or seven years to get to that stage. We’re so close – that’s the reality. We have to get through the pain tonight and wake up tomorrow with the same attitude We were here.”
Arsenal’s only hope of silverware this season is now the Premier League title.
However they suffered a blow in the race on Sunday as they lost to Aston Villa.
This means that Manchester City now have the initiative out of themselves, Arsenal and Liverpool.
