Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keeping his composure following his team’s first Champions League setback, a 1-0 loss to Inter Milan, as they look ahead to a critical Premier League clash with Chelsea this weekend.
The defeat at the San Siro came courtesy of a late penalty from Hakan Calhanoglu, marking a disappointing end to Arsenal’s unbeaten run in the tournament.
This loss follows another narrow 1-0 defeat against Newcastle, raising concerns about the Gunners’ title ambitions as they now find themselves six points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
With their upcoming match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the horizon, Arsenal faces the challenge of avoiding a third straight loss.
Arteta, however, remains optimistic about his squad’s readiness to bounce back. In his post-match comments, Arteta praised his team’s performance against a formidable Inter side, expressing confidence that they can replicate that form against Chelsea. “The way we played tonight against Inter shows that we have what it takes to go to Chelsea and secure a win,” he affirmed.
