Arsenal stormed into a 3-0 half time lead to threaten one of the biggest comebacks in Champions League history.
“When we went two behind, we were not in control and credit must go to Arsene for how Arsenal played in the first half,” he told reporters.
“We suffered in the first half after conceding a goal in the first few minutes and all credit to Arsenal because I knew the first half was going to be tough and they made it hard for us.
“But we played very well in the second half and only gave them one real chance in the second half.”
