Arteta enjoys the 2-1 loss in the Europa League

Arsenal lost 2-1 in Spain in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.

The ‘gunners’ failed to break Villarreal at their home, made fantastic appearances for 90 minutes and another 90 fiery minutes are expected in London.

Either way, for the coach, Mikel Arteta, it is a positive loss.

He believes that the 2-1 result leaves the match very open and that Arsenal has a real chance to qualify for the Europa League final.

“We did not come here to lose, but, seeing how the match went, we have to accept the result. It was probably the best result we could get at a loss. It was a match with two faces “, said Arteta.

“In the second half we played as we know, while in the first half we were not ourselves. We did not create chances for a goal, we lacked danger, while in the second half we changed for the better. We lost a good chance to equalize through Aubameyang.”

“Anyway, I have a lot of confidence in the return match. “We have the opportunity to win and qualify for the final.”

Douglas Costa will complete the transfer to Gremio within 48 hours

Douglas Costa is expected to complete his move to Gremio within 48 hours, said the vice-president of the Brazilian club.

The 30-year-old joined Bayern Munich on loan from Juventus this October, but the Bavarians had informed the Serie A giants that they would not buy the player.

The Brazilian is now expected to return to his former club Gremio on a free transfer.

“Negotiations are underway. Juventus have officially authorized us to make a deal with the player,” Gremio vice-president Marcos Herrmann told Globo Esporte.

“We are waiting for the documentation, which should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday, and there is enough time to register the player before the deadline. We are optimistic.”

Douglas Costa’s contract with Juventus expires in 2022, but the Bianconeri will end the deal with the Brazilian winger a year ago.
