Lucas Torreira says Arsenal are in a tough battle to secure Champions League football next season

Arsenal lost 3-1 in an away game against Manchester City during the match day 25 of Premier League. After the defeat, Gunners are currently 6th in the league with 47 points, one point behind 5th placed Manchester United. Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira spoke about the game and the possibilities of the team playing in the Champions League. "As you said, when we got it to 1-1, we were doing well. We were pressing in a nice way, using the space on the pitch well. Then of course the quality of their players meant they could get the second goal. really, that changed the game. That said, we managed to keep attacking. We tried to play our game and went looking for the equaliser but it wasn’t meant to be. That’s football and we’ve got a long way to go in the Premier League. We’re up there fighting and we want to try to achieve the best finish possible. "It was a very difficult game but we know that Man City are one of the best teams in the country. They’ve got some great players and they play some great football. That said, we prepared well and at times during the game we were able to stay with them. We matched them and we equalised to make it 1-1, but then we were unable to create chances after that. Then, because of how the game went, they got the second goal. That was telling. "Today United have overtaken us. It’s important to turn the page as quickly as possible. This is football, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. The most important thing is that we keep trying to improve. There’s a long way to go in the Premier League, so it’s about trying to achieve our objectives in the time remaining."
