A "pained" Mikel Arteta admitted Arsenal's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is "very tough to accept" - after he claimed his side could "easily" have been awarded a decisive extra-time penalty.
Arsenal's dreams of winning on Europe's biggest stage for the first time in their 140-year history ended in agony following a 4-3 shoot-out defeat, with both Eberechi Eze and Gabriel off target at the Puskas Arena in Budapest.
Kai Havertz fired Arsenal ahead in the sixth minute before Ousmane Dembele equalised from the spot when Cristhian Mosquera upended Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the second half.
Arsenal hung on to force extra time, and might have had a penalty of their own when Noni Madueke was bundled over by Nuno Mendes.
However, referee Daniel Siebert waved away Arsenal's appeals and VAR took no action. Arteta and Declan Rice were both booked for protesting in the aftermath.
