Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah has made a mockery of Mikel Arteta's assertion that his Arsenal team was the best team in the Champions League this season - despite their demise at the last-four stage of the tournament.

Despite falling short over these two legs against Luis Enrique's team, Arsenal boss Arteta remained convinced of his side's merits as the best team in Europe.

Having witnessed Liverpool secure the Premier League title in recent weeks, this loss compounded a forgettable season for Arsenal.

However, Arteta was loath to casting a critical eye over the Gunners' shortcomings this term, as he remained resolute in his belief in relation to his team's standing in the European stakes.

Speaking after elimination, he said: "We were very close, much closer than the result showed, but unfortunately we are out.

"I am very proud of the players, 100% I don't think there's been a better team [than Arsenal] in the competition from what I have seen, but we are out.

In a controversial remark before the game, Arteta also appeared to claim that his team has been unfortunate to have not won the Premier League in the last few seasons.

With the points of the past two season we have two Premier League [titles]."

Now, Liverpool forward Salah has given his verdict on the team that eliminated both the Reds and the Gunners from the Champions League this term.
