Mikel Arteta has admitted that he knew that Arsenal is inadequate in the Premier League title race before the season even started.
The Gunners, whose exit from the Champions League last week confirmed that another season without silverware at the Emirates, are ready to finish second in the Premier League for the third consecutive campaign after the title Triumph.
The Reds, who are organizing Arsenal in Anfield on Sunday, won the Premier League with seven games when Arteta's side kept falling points while concentrated on Champions League knockout tires with PSV, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
The Noord -London club, which is 15 points behind Liverpool prior to Sunday's game, will close the Champions League qualification with Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa all within four points of the 67 they played.
Despite the fact that they are on their way the 2024-25 season as one of the favorites to win the title, in addition to multi-year winners Man City, the Gunners struggled for consistency during the campaign, partly due to a wealth of injury problems.
Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Jesus belong to those who have suffered long -term spells during the season, whereby Arsenal has experienced a shortage of options in particular from aware.
“There are many factors,” said Arteta after being asked about the title challenge of Arsenal. 'We knew from the start of the season that our team was super short.
'Super short we had some players who had a big chance to get injured, because that is what they had in the past seasons.
“So we knew that and we can't do anything about it.
'But we will do everything we can to improve the team and especially to improve the players we already have.
“That's not something we are just talking about now. If we had those meetings alone, we would do it very late.
'Whatever the market offers to give us a better chance to certainly win, we will try to do it.
'During the season there are many things you need to go your way.
'In the clinical moments, the ball touches the post and comes out or do you go inside? That is the fine margins.
'What we should try to do is strengthen the margins. The greater the margins, even if those things happen, it will be very difficult for the opposition.
“We have to do it our way. We must be authentic with ourselves and what we believe, what we can do and what we have done. That's it. '
Arsenal hoped to end the season with a historic Champions League-Eer, but the North London club could not exceed PSG in the semi-final.
The coming summer transfer window is probably an extremely important for Arsenal and Arteta, in which the real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi already understood that he has evaluated a deal to sign the new campaign.
Arsenal is also looking for a new striker, with sporty Lisbon Vooruit Viktor Gyokeres and RB Leipzig -star Benjamin Sesko among those linked to a move to the Emirates.
