Mikel Arteta rejects the sympathy for the Champions League exit as Arsenal End 2024/25 without a trophy | Football news

“I don’t want anyone to talk about it.”

Mikel Arthte a little comfort from the first semi -finals of the Arsenal Champions League in 16 years. It was a season of progress in Europe for its side, which not only reached that turning point – but only for the third time in its history – but also saw the 15 Real Madrid winner on the road.

But that is not enough. When the curtain collapses in 2024/25, it will do it with Arsenal, which will enter their sixth season since they last lifted silver accessories. What is likely to be a hat-trick place for runners in the Premier League, and this has come to the last four in Europe this season, has strengthened the feeling that she is always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

Speaking Sky Sports On the eve of the trip to the League League, Liverpool and what Arthtea admits that there will be a painful honorable guarantee for the newly married champions, head Gunners says he is more interested in talking about why they have missed the fame of the Champions League – and does not dispute the outer noise because of the bigger threat.

“We wanted to win the Champions League and we believed we could,” he said. “It’s a ghost. If someone says ‘Oh, but we have it’, I don’t want anyone to talk about it.

“Wednesday was one of the saddest but most favorable nights I had as Arsenal manager. I want to talk about one, why we didn’t beat him and what we now have to do to beat him. This is what this club has to drive and everyone involved in it.

“Many things have to go your way. What we did was an increase in likelihood and it made it very high to reach the finals. But we missed too many big chances. We can earn them, they had the best goalkeeper in the world who saved those moments.

“I understand the narrative (about signing No. 9). When you create five expected goals, but you only achieve one, it will happen. This is normal.

“We look at things with many more data and resources than many people, but many people have a very good intuition on what is needed – and it’s good to listen to these opinions.

“We have a very clear vision of ownership, owner and committee, a new sports director, we are all aligned on what we want to do. We are very close to achieve it – and that’s it.

“Some days it will be sunny, then the storm will come. You have to go through your head up every day, make your head up, make sure you do your best in a very sincere way and believe in full what you can do. Then it will come.”

Arsenal’s list of injuries is Paturan to those of their rival titles and is something that is mentioned in periods in periods in which its composition has become particularly stretched.

Thinking about where the Premier League and Champions League campaigns slipped off, he suggested that the search for the soul of their staff had already called out if it was something beyond their control – or other “probability” that they could improve next season, through changes in training or with a larger pool of players to choose.

“Injuries that I think were the nightmare in terms of choosing a line, replacement, the way we change training – because we had time without a lot of players available,” he said.

“Then you want to really lift standards, win and be much better than opposition in this league, in this context. It is very demanding and very ticklish.

“We had three or four major injuries and it is very difficult to prevent them. Can we do something different? Happiness could have been different, training could have been different, the gym could be different, prevention can be different.

“We will look at all those things to try to be better, and the reality is that the starting points and numbers we had at first start the season were very, very low and we accepted the challenge because that is what we could do at that moment.”
