"Speaking to the boys and understanding the penalty incident for the second goal getting overturned, it was against the rules, and I don't understand it."
"[I'm] very upset. There is clear contact; he makes the decision, and you can't overturn it when you have to watch it 13 times."
"It's the wrong decision, and it changes the course of the tie."
Mikel Arteta expressed frustration over the overturned penalty decision in Arsenal's Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams scoring from the penalty spot. Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres reached 19 goals this season, ranking third among Premier League scorers.
