Mikel Arteta emphasized the need for Arsenal to elevate their performance following a 1-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. Ousmane Dembele's early goal provided PSG with an advantage, while Arsenal struggled despite having clear chances, including a disallowed goal and notable saves by PSG's goalkeeper. Arteta remains optimistic about the return leg, urging his team to harness their strengths and aiming for a special performance to progress in the tournament, especially after missing a chance to secure silverware this season due to Liverpool's league success.
"You want to be in the Champions League final, you have to do something special, and we're going to have to do something special in Paris."
"I saw two very good teams, but the margins are small. They had efficiency in front of the goal."
