Arsenal lost 4-1 to Chelsea in Baku, missing out of chance to lift major silverware and secure Champions League football.<\/p>\n
The defeat led to plenty of criticism of their performance on social media from their fans.<\/p>\n
Xhaka declared after the game that people \u201cspeak too much\u201d, as he insisted everyone was hurt after the defeat.<\/p>\n
Speaking to TalkSPorts after the game, Xhaka said, \u201cI don\u2019t care what the people speak about us on social media, about the players.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know which qualities we have, we know how it is, and this is important for us, not about social media and what they write and what they speak.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of people, they speak too much.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not only about the fans, it\u2019s about us as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are of course disappointed. If you lose a final you cannot be happy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the Arsenal fans, the players, the club, everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a big chance for us,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t come in the top four in the Premier League. We had a second chance today. If you don\u2019t take the chance, you\u2019re in the Europa League.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we played very well in the first half. We had a good chance in the first half.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey scored early in the second half, then after we opened the game too fast, I think.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith 45 minutes you have a chance to come back but after one then two nil it\u2019s game over.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
