The manager of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, acknowledged that their goalless draw with Atalanta was “not the nicest to watch.”

On Thursday night, the Gunners started their Champions League campaign in Bergamo with a 0-0 score.

For Arsenal, David Raya emerged as the hero after making an incredible double save to keep Mateo Retegui from scoring from the penalty spot.

After the game, Arteta spoke with TNT Sports and stated, “As we suspected, it was a tough match.” Not very pleasant to watch.

“We had a great start and were really in control of the game.

We lost a lot of balls and struggled to establish a rhythm. While there are many good aspects, there are also many areas that may use improvement.
