    "editor1": "Champions League: Despite Arsenal heading to Paris for their Champions League semi-finals second leg with a 1-0 deficit, Mikel Arteta is full of confidence that his side can still make it to the final in Munich at the end of May.\n<p>The Gunners couldn\u2019t recover from Ousmane Dembele\u2019s early goal that settled the game at Emirates Stadium, despite carving out some big opportunities but finding PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in inspired form and having a Mikel Merino header ruled out by VAR.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, Arsenal's performance kept Mikel\u2019s confidence of progressing to a second-ever final intact, and he feels that some more luck in front of goal could be the difference in the French capital in eight days\u2019 time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It\u2019s just half-time, I said exactly the same message after beating Real Madrid 3-0 at home. We go to Paris to win, and I fully believe that we can do it. We\u2019re disappointed with the result because I think we merited much more than what we got.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"After having a difficult start, especially when they scored so early in a really good combination, they had the quality to open you up and finish the way they did. But after that, I think the team started to get better and better.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"The margins are so small - we have two massive chances, probably the best two chances of the game with Gabi and Leo, one v one with the keeper. He managed to save them and then obviously the goal was disallowed. That's the margins and, unfortunately, we couldn't score,\" said Arteta in the post-game press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was only two weeks ago that Arsenal went to the Bernabeu and beat the reigning European champions Real Madrid in one of the toughest venues to get a result in world football.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That win, coupled with some other impressive results on their travels around the continent this season, will fuel Arteta's side with confidence to do it again, and he believes that winning in the Parc des Princes is the kind of statement a side dreaming of becoming European champions has to achieve on the way to glory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"That's what we have to do. If you want to win the Champions League or be in the final, you have to do something exceptional in the tournament at some point. That's what we have to now plan and do when we get to Paris in a few days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That win, coupled with some other impressive results on their travels around the continent this season, will fuel Arteta's side with confidence to do it again, and he believes that winning in the Parc des Princes is the kind of statement a side dreaming of becoming European champions has to achieve on the way to glory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
