Mikel Arteta says he must hurt his players in the Champions League semi-finals in the Champions League semi-finals if they want to win a day.
The Gunners lost 2-1 in the second round of Park de Prince – 3-1 to the total – while French champions march on their faces in Munich in Munich.
Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi have taken control of their draw in Paris in Paris, but only after visitors start by visitors that goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma initially hit a series of impressive savings.
Witinha saw a penalty kicking that David Raya was 15 minutes away before Bukayo Saka was drew up for Arteta men.
The England player then wasted a glorious opportunity to further reduce the deficit, but it was Luis Enrique’s side who would win to compete with the biggest trophy in European clubs.

While Arteta is generous in defeat, he believes his team improved the two players during the draw.
“First, (I want) Congratulations to the PSG to reach the final. The assessment I am a little cooler, but the feedbacks that left their chair directly were that we were much better than them.
“When you watch the two games that were their best player on the pitch?” They were their goalkeeper.
“He made a difference for them in a draw. And I think we were close to it. We were much closer than the results showed. But unfortunately we are outside.
“I’m very proud of the players. What we did today, the way we started, how we dealt with pressure.
Arsenal are now set for another seasonless season – Fifth in a row. And Arteta believes his players need to learn from the pain of losing to end their silver drought.
“I’m sad. Yes, we were very close. Yes, we were much better than them for a long time than both games,” Arteta said.
“But we are not there and must hurt us. If we want to win this competition, and go there, we must know that,” he said.
“There are some things we have on us. Understanding that we are outside is not the way I look at.
