Eliminated in the Champions League + kneeling for four consecutive times! Arteta s record of breaking defense: 3-0 remarks in 20 minutes were ridiculed by the public!

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, Arsenal lost 1-2 to Paris Saint-Germain and was eliminated. All four of them will be gone this season! After the game, Arsenal head coach Arteta completely broke the defense. He said that Arsenal was a "better team" in the two rounds, and even believed that Arsenal was the best team in this year's Champions League; and "in the first 20 minutes, the score should be 3-0." This unfounded statement naturally received a counterattack from Paris Saint-Germain coach Enrique: completely disagree, football is about who scores more goals! Even Arsenal's legendary coach Wenger said after the game that he did not agree with Artart's statement that Arsenal is a better-performing team. He believes that Paris Saint-Germain has not only achieved tactical success, but also has a strong spiritual level!

Indeed, after entering 2025, Arteta suffered considerable blows and doubts!

FA Cup on January 13, 2025: Ten-player Manchester United eliminated Arsenal in penalty shootout to advance to the top 32;

2025 February 6, 2025 League Cup: Newcastle 2-0 Arsenal reached the final 4-0;

2025 April 27, 2025 Premier League: Liverpool 5-1 Tottenham won the championship four rounds ahead of schedule;

2025 May 8, 2025 Champions League: Paris 2-1 to 3-1 Arsenal reached the final!

At this point, Arsenal, coached by Arteta, has stopped in the semi-finals of important cups for four consecutive times, including the 2020/21 Europa League, the 2021/22 League Cup, the 2024/25 League Cup and the Champions League. Not only has it set a record of the most outs in the semi-finals, but Arsenal will also miss any major trophy for the fifth consecutive season. What’s even more sad is that Liverpool has won the championship so far in the Premier League’s BIG6, and Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea still have championship competitions, but Arsenal can only fight for the second battle for the Premier League!

Since Arteta took over Arsenal on December 12, 2019, it has been 5 seasons since then. During this period, Arsenal's transfer expenditure has reached 783 million euros, with an average expenditure of 157 million euros per season. But during this period, Arteta led the team to only win one FA Cup and two Community Shield Cups, and the team has not won an important championship yet. Although Arsenal was runner-up in the Premier League in the first two seasons and ended in the last few rounds, such results are still hard to convince.

As Arteta said, Arsenal had a full chance to take a 3-0 lead in the first 20 minutes, but the Gunners have never been able to convert their early advantages into goals, which is a microcosm of Arsenal in recent years. Although the Gunners often have an advantage, how to translate this advantage into goals and trophies is the key to the team. At least for the moment, Arteta's team still lacks that final shot.

Of course, Arteta's contribution in recent years cannot be denied. When he first accepted, the Gunners touched the bottom, and now Arsenal almost reached the peak. At least two years ago, no one believed that Arsenal could qualify for the Champions League, and no one believed that Arsenal could qualify for the second place in the Premier League. All of this was achieved under the leadership of Arteta, and he even led the team to the Champions League semi-finals! A slight difference can lead to a huge mistake! It’s a completely different story if you touch the paper on the window. In the remaining Premier League, Liverpool won the championship early, and Arsenal was only the runner-up at most, and could complete the feat of three consecutive Premier League appearances. However, Arsenal will face Liverpool, Newcastle and Southampton in the last three rounds respectively. Manchester City behind them are only 3 points behind. Can Arsenal really stand it?
