The head coach of London's Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, was disappointed that the team failed to beat visiting Madrid's Atletico. Yesterday, the first leg of the Europa League semi-final was played in London. Atletico was left with ten men early on, and the Gunners gained a goal advantage, but still could not secure a victory - the guests equalized 1-1. "Looking at our game and how the match unfolded, this is the worst result," said A. Wenger. "We did not take advantage of many great opportunities. We could have almost secured a place in the final, but it didn't happen. Their goalkeeper repelled a lot of shots, and as you can see, it helped them gain an advantage for the second leg. We knew that failing to score in the first leg was important not to concede, but that didn't happen," concluded the Frenchman leaving the club at the end of the season.
