Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has admitted that his team were "punished" for their mistakes in the 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.
Although the Gunners went in front through Bukayo Saka's splendid effort, they were behind at the break.
Leroy Sane and Harry Kane scored for the Bavarians to give them the lead.
However, Arteta's men were level late in the game, thanks to substitute Leandro Trossard.
"We started the game very well. We were dominant and played in their half. We dominated the momentum, then it's a critical moment when Ben White was in front of Manuel Neuer and we had to make it 2-0.
"That makes it a different moment. We cannot give anything to the opponent in the Champions League, we did that twice and they are going to punish us.
"That's the biggest lesson. The margins are very small in this competition, it's difficult to penetrate quality opponents against this level of opposition," Arteta told the media after the game.
