Mikel Arteta se pronunciou para explicar as “decisões táticas” por trás da escalação para a disputa de pênaltis, o que inclui o motivo pelo qual Gabriel foi um dos cobradores. A reação de Arteta à “falha devastadora” do zagueiro foi justamente a de justificar e explicar essas escolhas táticas.
No entanto, o trecho fornecido não detalha quais foram essas decisões táticas específicas ou a reação completa de Arteta, apenas que ele se manifestou para explicá-las. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta explained why defender Gabriel took the decisive fifth penalty in their 4-3 shootout loss at the Puskas Arena, which resulted in them losing the trophy to a “French giant.”
Arteta revealed that Gabriel volunteered for the high-pressure kick because the team’s usual penalty specialists, such as Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Kai Havertz, were no longer on the field. Arteta admitted that despite practicing penalties, Arsenal ultimately lacked the “precision and efficiency” of their opponents, leading to their defeat.

Headline: Rice defends players after penalty shootout
Article Body:
Despite the somber mood in the changing room, Declan Rice didn’t hesitate to come to the defense of his teammates. Both Gabriel and Eze missed their penalties, but the England international insisted that the two should not be made scapegoats for the outcome.
“Devastated. Missing a penalty in the Champions League final is not good at all. But we love them. Look, these things happen in football. They won’t be the last players to miss a penalty in a final. Everyone has missed a penalty at some point. Without these two this season, we wouldn’t have won the Premier League. It’s cruel, but we’ll take the positives from it,” said Rice.
