00:01Pain.
00:03That's it.
00:04When you are so close
00:06in the competition
00:07and you are a few penalty kick-outs
00:10away from winning
00:11the biggest football
00:14club competition,
00:15that's the way we should feel.
00:17In 2006, it felt at that moment like it would be a long time
00:20that it would take for Arsenal to get back there,
00:21but it does feel like this time you'll be back
00:23in this position again much sooner.
00:25Do you feel that as well?
00:27I don't know. We're going to have to end that.
00:30The same progression
00:31that we had in the last few years,
00:32we're going to have to do that over again
00:34and the level is increasing
00:36every single season.
00:38We had an incredible competition.
00:40We haven't lost a single match
00:43in the competition,
00:44but the reality is that
00:46when something had to go
00:49our way, especially
00:50in the boxes with the penalty that
00:52it was given to Mosquera and then no penalty
00:54to Marrueke and the penalty kicks,
00:57those marches didn't go for us.
00:59James, CBS.
01:00I know you said you're feeling a lot of pain now,
01:02but is that mingled with pride
01:04because you came so close?
01:06Before that penalty, it didn't look like you would concede?
01:10For sure.
01:12What I said to the players and the staff
01:14is that if I tell them
01:15one million times thank you,
01:17it's not going to be enough.
01:18And it's not because we won the Premier League
01:20and it's not because we played the
01:23Cup final, it's not because we played
01:25the Champions League final in the manner that we've done,
01:27it's because of the joy and the moments
01:29that we have lived together every single day
01:32and that's above anything else.
01:34Alex from the BBC.
01:35Hi, Mikel.
01:36Hi.
01:37Can I just ask about the penalty takers, Gabriel?
01:40Unfortunately, to miss the fifth penalty,
01:43putting a great performance,
01:45I know you had to take off a number of your regular takers as well,
01:47so how did he end up number five?
01:49Did he put his hand up or how had that come about?
01:51He wanted to take number five, obviously.
01:53We have prepared and trained this moment.
01:56Normally, the penalty takers will be Bukayo,
02:00it will be Martini, it will be Kai for sure.
02:02And we knew that if we go to extra time on penalties,
02:04the penalty takers will be different players,
02:07still with the quality when you take penalties in training,
02:10it doesn't miss any.
02:12But then you have to do it in this moment.
02:14We've been unfortunate not to have the same precision
02:19and efficiency that they had,
02:20and that's the reason that we haven't won it.
02:23James Athletic.
02:24Hi, Mikel.
02:25Your team have shown in the Premier League
02:27that they know how to respond to these kinds of disappointments,
02:30how to use this pain to motivate them to come back, to push on.
02:35Is that what they need to replicate now in Europe,
02:38in the Champions League?
02:40Yes.
02:40First of all, you have to go through that pain, digest it
02:43and turn it into fuel, as you said,
02:47to improve and to reach a different level
02:49because it will demand a different level with the quality that is around Europe.
02:54I want to congratulate PSG, Luis in particular,
02:58because they are, in my opinion, the best team in the world.
03:01What they are able to do with the ball, with individual actions,
03:06I haven't seen it, and it's not the plan to play in certain scenarios
03:12when you don't have the ball, but they force you to do that.
03:15So, even more creative the players.
03:17Ed from the Guardian.
03:18Hi, Miquel.
03:19You mentioned the penalty just earlier.
03:21Do you think that it was a bit unfair on you,
03:24considering that they got given a penalty and you felt it was a penalty for Arsenal?
03:29Well, it's comparing.
03:30I watched all the penalties in the competition in the last 72 hours
03:33to understand what is a penalty and what is not,
03:35and that easily can be a penalty.
03:38Okay, Phil, PA.
03:40Miquel, just following up on that, I suppose.
03:42I mean, over here, on that penalty.
03:45I mean, that could have won the match, obviously, for Arsenal
03:48and possibly the final.
03:50So, it must be super frustrating.
03:55If it's not what happened and that's it.
03:58So, we need to do better.
03:59We will have to improve and find different margins
04:02to get the outcome that we want.
04:05Okay, Sam from the Telegraph, on this side.
04:06Hi, Miquel.
04:07You mentioned PSG being the best team in the world
04:10and the things they can do.
04:12Is that what you look at now in terms of evolving your team
04:14and getting more towards that fluidity and freedom, perhaps?
04:18Yes, and individual action that they have, for sure.
04:22And then you have to get into the competition
04:24with all the squad available in the best moment, each player.
04:29And we've been with many more players than last season,
04:35but not all of them in that condition for different reasons.
04:38And that's something that we have to improve as well.
04:40Okay, last two questions.
04:41James Espienne.
04:42Hi, Miquel.
04:43After such a long season, after the parade is out of the way,
04:46what do you do the next few days?
04:48Do you switch off completely or do you already start thinking about reviewing
04:51and planning for next season?
04:53First of all, I would take a few days with my family
04:57and they will start the process to review what we've done,
05:02to start to make some very important decisions
05:04if we want to reach another level.
05:07and we're going to have to show that ambition
05:10because we are more than capable of doing it,
05:12but it's going to demand to be very, very ambitious,
05:17very fast and very smart.
05:20And finally, Juan from Marca.
05:22Hola, Miquel.
05:23Juan Castro de Marca.
05:24Lo has dicho en inglés, pero si lo puedes repetir en español,
05:26como has visto la acción de Matueke.
05:28Y mañana, ya sé que ahora mismo no tienes ganas de nada,
05:30pero mañana os esperan cerca de medio millón de personas en Londres.
05:34¿Qué le dirías ahora mismo?
05:36A la gente, claro, lo que sienta.
05:39Yo ya sé cómo se sienten con respecto al equipo.
05:41Un agradecimiento tremendo como nos han llevado durante toda la temporada,
05:48momentos de dificultad como han estado con nosotros
05:50y ha sido una joya ver la reacción que han tenido
05:52cuando hemos sido capaces de ganar una liga después de 22 años.
05:57Duele, duele mucho por ellos en no conquistarlo hoy
05:59porque ni me puedo imaginar lo que hubiera pasado
06:01y teníamos todos unas ganas enormes de conseguirlo.
06:06Y nada, mañana pasaremos un bonito día, estoy seguro.
06:10¿Y Matueke?
06:11Y lo de Noni creo que ya da mi opinión, pero ahora ya no vale de nada.
06:17Gracias a todos.
06:18Buenas noches.
06:18Gracias.
06:31Gracias.
