Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta admitted Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain are the best team in the world after his team fell to defeat in the final on penalties on Saturday.
Following a 1-1 draw after extra-time, PSG clinched the Champions League for a second consecutive season with a 4-3 shoot-out victory.
Arteta said all he was feeling was “pain”, and admitted his Arsenal side, who won the Premier League this season, was not at the same level as the French champions who dominated the ball throughout.
“I want to congratulate PSG, Luis (Enrique, the coach) in particular, because in my opinion they are the best in the world,” Arteta told reporters in Budapest.
