The UEFA Champions League elimination last night at Parc des Princes stadium was no drama or shock to me, I do know Gunners will be relegated but on what grounds? By losing to Paris Saint-Germain home and away. Gunners relented too much in the first leg at Emirates and did their best at Paris but it wasn't just good enough since the host prepared enough. Arsenal are the bottlers club this season, they didn't escape the name after having some brilliant performance against elite and mediocre oppositions, they are dissapointed. Mikel Arteta have nothing to show for since taking over as Arsenal headcoach, they've remained consistent in retaining the second position, what more can he ask for?
Arsenal continues to experience failure every season. They are recognized as one of the strongest teams in Europe. but unfortunately Arsenal also know by everyone that their strength is always not enough to lift the trophy. My friends and I always talk about this team in a resigned tone. Well, in terms of quality, we all know that Arsenal is as strong as Man City and Liverpool in almost every season. But Man City and Liverpool have seasons that they can use to lift trophies but Arsenal so far they have always failed. And what hurts is that Arsenal always fail at the most important moments.
Arsenal's defeat by PSG was not a surprise at all. But still I'm not used to seeing Arsenal fail in almost the same way. In the Premier League they are always ranked second. And at UCL they always fail. But this season it might be a little better. Because Arsenal this season at least made it to the semi-finals.
