Mikel Arteta\u2019s recent comments \u2018didn\u2019t go down brilliantly with Liverpool\u2019 and exemplified why the Arsenal boss is \u2018openly disliked\u2019 by the staff at some clubs, according to a report.<\/p>\n
Arteta\u2019s side were dumped out of the Champions League on Wednesday<\/a><\/strong> as PSG won 3-1 on aggregate in their semi-final.<\/p>\n Goals from Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi saw off the Gunners at the Parcs des Princes in what looked like a pretty comfortable victory for Luis Enrique\u2019s side, but Arteta insisted after the game that not only did his side deserved to go through to the final but that \u201cthere has been no better team\u201d<\/a><\/strong> in the Champions League this season.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Arteta leaves Arsenal wondering \u2018what might have been?\u2019 again as \u2018arrogant\u2019 star humbled vs PSG<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Those comments were on top of his curious pre-game comments over Liverpool winning the Premier League with fewer points than his own team in the previous two seasons, either ignorant of or ignoring the Reds\u2019 points-per-game advantage.<\/p>\n The Independent has now revealed<\/a><\/strong> that Liverpool weren\u2019t impressed with Arteta\u2019s comments; also revealing that some staff at football clubs don\u2019t even try to hide their aversion to the Arsenal boss.<\/p>\n The report states:<\/p>\n \u2018It didn\u2019t go down brilliantly within Liverpool, and it is one reason why Arteta has not exactly been one of the Premier League\u2019s more popular managers. Staff at some clubs openly dislike him, and you can\u2019t but notice a certain public glee at Arsenal\u2019s disappointment. At least part of that is down to the manager.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n MORE ARSENAL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> In contrast to Arteta, PSG boss Luis Enrique praised Arsenal for a \u201cgreat match\u201d while disagreeing with the Gunners manager\u2019s claim that they were the better side over the two legs.<\/p>\n \u201cMikel Arteta is a great friend, but I don\u2019t agree at all,\u201d Enrique said<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cThey played in a clever way and they got the match to the right moment for them because they played in the way they wanted, and the way they love. But in the two legs we scored more than them and that is the most important thing in football.<\/p>\n \u201cArsenal played a great match, and we suffered, but we deserved to get to the final.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are a great team, but I repeat, we scored more goals, we played in a great way in the first leg, and the second half of the second leg was a different match, and we could have scored even more goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
