Mikel Arteta reassures Arsenal fans: ‘We’ll win it’ in end

So close yet so far. This has been Arsenal’s story in the last couple of seasons in the Premier League. The Gunners finished the 2023-24 PL season at second place with 89 points, behind champions Manchester City, who bagged two more points.

However, Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta reassured the club’s fans that they will win it in the end. Arsenal won their last match of the season against Everton by 2-1 after coming from behind but Manchester City registered a 3-1 win against West Ham at the Etihad to claim their fourth consecutive Premier League title under Pep Guardiola. 

Addressing supporters on the pitch at full-time, Arteta said: “Now it is time to have a break, think, reflect, and please keep pushing. Keep inspiring this team. Don’t be satisfied because we want much more than that and we are going to get it.”

Later asked why he was so confident, Arteta replied: “If we do what we have to do, we’re going to be closer and at the end we’ll win it. When, I don’t know. But if we keep knocking and being that close, in the end it will happen.”

When asked if 100 points would be needed to win the Premier League, Arteta said, “Yeah. But I was there when we did 100 points so I know what it takes. I know what happened and this is the level.

“No one has to explain what the level is because I was there four years every day and I know what we have to do if we are going to reach there. Not only for one season, but for the rest, but we are on the right path, the right journey and to see the evolution so quickly happening, I haven’t seen it before.

“So, we’re on the right trajectory and now we need really to pull the teeth and bite into it because we really want more.

“When you look in the last 15 to 20 years of this league, the competition wasn’t like it is today and for sure [with 89 points] you are champion. But it is not enough. This is as well probably we are getting better and better and better and faster because someone is so good that you have to chase it.

“That is what makes you good as well. That’s it. We cannot feel sorry for ourselves, guys. We tried, we are improving. It was an unbelievable season again but we are not champions and that is the reality.”

Arteta has done a fine job for Arsenal but City were once again too good throughout the season.
