I believe we were a bit unlucky a few times.” He also cursed referee Gianluca Rocchi’s leniency in the face of Atletico’s fierce challenges.

They broke a few counter-attacks and the referee took a while to give them a yellow card in situations where we could be very dangerous,” Wenger added. “They are a clever side that defends very well. (Diego) Godin saved five or six goals. They were in amazing positions and they have great defenders.

“It was a very intense game between two teams that gave everything. Congratulations to them and good luck to them in the final. I would say the winner of tonight’s game is the clear favorite in the competition.”
