Mikel Arteta: “It’s incredible how you don’t win that game. New striker? We missed form various ways and different players. I understand guys. I cannot love my players more. I focus very much on the ones that I have.”
Arteta: “Gabriel Jesus? Big worry, that’s my feeling. He had to come off on a stretcher touching his knee… so unfortunately it’s not looking good.”
Meanwhile, Riccardo Calafiori was ruled out with a muscle injury against Manchester United.
Barcelona

Pedri’s new Barcelona contract is expected to happen in the next months. The player has confirmed it’s progressing and there’s no reason for fans to worry - negotiations are already very advanced. Pedri and Gavi are due to extend, and it’s the same for Lamine Yamal.
Bayern Munich
Manuel Neuer has confirmed: “It’s true, I will sign a new deal at FC Bayern soon,” he told Sport1. It will be valid until June 2026 - one more season at Bayern for the German goalkeeping legend.
Joshua Kimmich on his contract expiring in six months: “I spoke to the club. I won't put too much pressure on myself. But of course there has to be a decision in the coming months. Of course there are many good reasons to extend. I have to consider it all and decide.”
