Mikel Arteta has urged <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/arteta-wants-arsenal-to-show-character-after-villa-shocker-23344523" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Arsenal</a> to use the &ldquo;pain&rdquo; of the Champions League quarter-final exit against Bayern Munich to fuel their Premier League title bid.&nbsp;
Arteta&rsquo;s side failed to clinch a first semi-final appearance since 2009 as Joshua Kimmich&rsquo;s second half header gave Bayern a 1-0 second leg win and a 3-2 aggregate success.&nbsp;
It was a bitter evening in Munich for Arteta and his players, who had dreamed of leading Arsenal to their maiden Champions League crown. After a blistering run carried them to the top of the Premier League and into the Champions League last eight, Arsenal have endured a nightmare week.&nbsp;

They were below their best in the 2-2 first leg draw with Bayern, then surrendered pole position in the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/juventus-ordered-to-pay-ronaldo-more-than-usd-10-million-in-salary-dispute-23344922" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Premier League</a> after conceding two late goals in a 2-0 home defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday.&nbsp;
After producing another underwhelming display in Germany, Arteta has to find a way to lift his team&rsquo;s shattered morale in time for a last push for the English title. Arteta has told his tired troops to embrace the opportunity to chase Arsenal&rsquo;s first Premier League crown for 20 years. &ldquo;What we have to play for [in the Premier League] is still beautiful. We have six games to go and we are two points behind City,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a very difficult schedule for everybody. We have to go through the pain tonight, and tomorrow get up and come with the same attitude that we came with here. I can guarantee you by tomorrow we&rsquo;re fully focused on Wolves and everybody is lifted. We were very close, that is the reality. It&rsquo;s painful, but we have to learn from this,&rdquo; Arteta said.
