The 1998 World Cup winner did not hold back in hisassessment of Arteta and his squad, brutally tearing into their mentality and perceived arrogance. Dugarry felt the Gunners betrayed their own history with such a negative approach on Europe's biggest stage.
"They’re a bunch of clowns," Dugarry added. "They arrived with an inflated ego, with Arteta saying, 'We’re going to beat them'… I’m so glad Arsenal got the short end of the stick, and I hope that if they ever want to win it, they’ll start playing football. This isn’t Arsenal! This club has a history, they’re the Gunners, there’s a legacy, a style of football. They can’t play like that, it’s impossible."
