Arsene Wenger will leave Arsenal as a "very sad" man at the end of the season after he was unable to guide the club into the Europa League final in his last campaign at the helm.
Wenger announced his decision to depart in April, after being in the job for nearly 22 years and presiding over three Premier League title wins and seven FA Cup triumphs.
“I’m like the team, very sad and very disappointed. I’m very frustrated as well. I’m very, very sad to leave the club with this exit.”May 3, 2018
"It's very sad, very, very, very sad," said Wenger. "I'm very sad to leave the club with that exit.
"It takes some time to recover from that, after I will see what I do with myself in the future. I have no plans at the moment.
"I am like the team; very sad and very disappointed, even very frustrated, as well, because when you go out of a competition and you had the performances in the 180 minutes that we had, it is very difficult to take.
"We missed something in the final third. You look at the number of chances we created in the two games, the least you can say is we can be very frustrated.
"Congratulations to Atletico and good luck in the final. The winner of tonight's game is the clear favourite to win the competition.
"Overall they are a clever side who defend very well. [Diego] Godin tonight saved five, six balls on crosses, absolutely, in amazing positions. They have great defenders."
Atletico will meet Marseille in Lyon on May 16.
