“Extraordinary. I feel embarrassed, but I have to be the one who comes here and tries to defend the club, and ask for help because it’s really embarrassing if this goal is allowed. This is embarrassing,” said Mikel Arteta, quoted from Sky Sports.
The word ’embarrassing’ that came out of Arteta’s mouth raises questions. Then the journalist confirmed to him which part he meant.
