Despite the disappointment in the league, Arteta is proud of his team’s progress in Europe this season. Arsenal reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they were knocked out by PSG.
It’s a shame because we wanted to win it, but we have to be honest, we were not the best team in the competition, he admitted. We were close but not close enough. It’s a good experience for the players, and we will learn from it.
Looking ahead to the final three games of the season, Arteta is focused on finishing strong and securing a second-place finish in the Premier League.
We want to finish as high as possible, he said. It’s important for the club and the fans. We will give everything in the remaining games and try to secure second place.
Arsenal will face Liverpool in their next match, and Arteta is expecting a tough test against the league champions.
Liverpool are a great team, and they have shown that throughout the season, he said. We will give them a guard of honour, but once the game starts, we will give everything to get a positive result.
Overall, Arteta remains optimistic about Arsenal’s future and is confident that the team can continue to improve and compete for titles in the coming seasons.
We are on the right track, he said. We have a great group of players, and we are building something special here. I believe we can achieve great things in the future.
After the defeat to PSG, Arteta stood by his claims that Arsenal are the “best in Europe” and emphasized the need for his team to continue performing at the highest level. Despite the disappointment of recent results, Arteta remains confident in his squad and their ability to bounce back.
