Arteta Blames Arsenal’s Trophy Drought on Lack of Progress

Mikel Arteta has expressed his dissatisfaction with Arsenal’s underwhelming season, admitting that he is “unsatisfied and upset” that the team failed to win a major trophy. The Gunners secured a Champions League spot but it’s been five years since they last won a major title.

Arteta blamed the team’s lack of progress on their inability to break through in competitions like the Premier League, Carabao Cup, and FA Cup. Despite finishing second in the league, Liverpool won the title. The manager vowed to give his life to deliver a trophy for Arsenal, stating that he will do everything possible to win.

Arteta acknowledged that fans have high expectations and want more from their team. He urged them to believe that they can achieve success together. Arteta took responsibility for not meeting fan expectations, saying that the team needs to create its own history at Emirates Stadium.

The manager has set his sights on next season, where he hopes to build on this year’s performances. With Arsenal guaranteed a second-place finish in the Premier League, Arteta will now focus on securing a top-four spot and preparing for the new campaign.
