Arsenal suffered a 2-0 defeat against Newcastle United in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at the Emirates Stadium. Post-match, manager Mikel Arteta expressed his frustration, particularly regarding the team's missed scoring opportunities and the challenges posed by a congested fixture schedule.
Arteta remarked, "If we lose or draw a game, it's related to this. If we win and score the three goals we should have—three very easy goals that we must score—the story would be different." He emphasized the importance of capitalizing on clear chances, suggesting that the outcome hinged on these missed opportunities.
Addressing the issue of fixture congestion, Arteta stated, "I don't even want to talk about it. We have very important games coming up, many of them significant for us, and this team is really looking to win them." His comments reflect a reluctance to use the busy schedule as an excuse, focusing instead on the necessity for the team to adapt and perform despite the challenges.
The defeat leaves Arsenal with a challenging task in the second leg at St. James' Park, where they will need to overturn the two-goal deficit to secure a place in the Carabao Cup final.
