Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, remains steadfast in his team’s pursuit of the Premier League title despite conceding it to Manchester City. Arteta’s squad finished as runners-up to City for the second year in a row, narrowly missing out on the final day of the season.
Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Everton was overshadowed by City’s 3-1 win against West Ham, clinching the title for Pep Guardiola’s side by a two-point margin.
City’s dominance is undeniable, having secured four consecutive titles and six championships in the last seven years, setting an unparalleled record.
Their reign remains unchallenged, despite Arsenal’s commendable performances throughout 2024 falling short of dethroning them.
Arteta, who previously served as Guardiola’s assistant during Manchester City’s remarkable achievement of reaching 100 points in the 2017-18 Premier League season, acknowledges that City’s hunger for success will persist even after their latest triumph.
In an interview with SkySports after Sunday’s game, Arteta congratulated Manchester City on winning the Premier League.
He expressed mixed emotions, stating, “Today, I am incredibly proud of our staff and players. They have gone above and beyond to try to secure this Premier League title.”
Arteta affirmed his confidence in Arsenal’s trajectory, emphasizing that he knows what it takes to surpass Manchester City and claim the Premier League title.
He remarked, “City took it from us, but we’re on the right path. We need to be more determined, ambitious, and courageous. If we continue knocking on the door, we’ll eventually succeed.”
Arteta drew from his experience with Manchester City, where he witnessed firsthand the dedication required to achieve success in the Premier League.
He concluded, “We’re heading in the right direction, and the progress we’ve made is remarkable. Now, we must remain steadfast and continue striving for more.”
