Arsenal once again fell into a painful situation when they missed out on the championship. But Arsenal experienced a successful season. They showed outstanding progress and maturity under Mikel Arteta's reign. The main reason is that two defeats against Aston Villa this season contributed to Arsenal falling behind Man City.
I appreciate Arsenal's current squad, I think the current players want to stay to continue fighting instead of leaving. This team has finished second in two consecutive seasons, but they are maturing, and I believe Mikel Arteta's team will be even better next season. Arsenal will need more quality contracts, thereby increasing competitiveness next season. Arsenal is a team with real strength, but the difference between Arsenal and Man City lies in spirit and bravery. Pep Guardiola's team did not make any mistakes in the final stages of the season.
Arsenal have failed to win the league for the second time, ending second position and City taking the glorious moment. What's stopping Arsenal from accomplishing their targets? The main cause was winning the EPL title this season but slimly missed out on the title to Manchester City who have always been favorite from day one. Mikel Arteta expresses his dissapointment but nothing to bother more about other than putting in the work for next season, we know it's not going to be an easy run up for elite clubs.
If you take a look at Arteta's career so far ever since he made the move to become Arsenal's head coach,you will see that he has already tried,his effort is not in vain even if he hasn't lifted the EPL already.The level Arsenal is now is not one that any team can just win them like that,he has raised their level and their mentality.They already are a team that are thinking of winning Something big,and next season,they might still be pushing to win the EPL trophy or better still,win the champions league.
Pep might want to resign or leave Mancity,but he will want to do that by winning the trophy for the 7th times which will make them want to be more serious next season,and Arsenal will wish to win it from them next season.
