We gave everything in our FA Youth Cup final against Chelsea, but were ultimately powerless to stop Jody Morris’ team from lifting the trophy for the fifth successive year.
After our 4-0 defeat at Emirates Stadium in the tie’s second leg, Joao Virginia spoke to Arsenal.com. Here’s what he said:
on feeling gutted…
We did everything we could. We had our chances but we didn’t take them. Chelsea had their chances and they were able to take them. Congratulations to Chelsea because they deserve it and they played really well, but I’m gutted.
on whether the scoreline flattered Chelsea…
At some times we were close to scoring against them, but we didn’t take those chances.
