Mikel Arteta says that Arsenal has run out this season and admitted to having seen Liverpool clinate the title of the Premier League Hurir “in his belly.”
The gunners are heading towards a third successive result in second place after not preventing Arne Slot’s side from claims first place with a 5-1 dismantling of Tottenham last Sunday.
Normally, those of Arsenal persuasion enjoy the misery of the Spurs, but Arteta admitted that it was a different feeling last weekend.
When asked if he lost once again, he said: “Great moment. In my belly. But I understand that it is a team that has been much more consistent.”

It is not easy to say that this was the year of Arsenal – Arteta
Having completed Manchester City twice in successive years, there was a school of thought that suggested that this year was going to be arsenal.
“It’s not so simplistic,” Arteta added.
“We have a lot to play in the Champions League and the Premier League and our approach is there.
“At the end of the season we have many weeks to reflect.
“The only thing we can control is our performance and emotional state. We have not achieved what we wanted.
“I will use this (time) to congratulate Liverpool for the way they have done. They have shown consistency and deserved to win it.
“As a club in the last 10, 15 years, they have been there competing and winning those great trophies. They did it because they did many things very well, so they are deserved champions.”
Injuries still affect arsenal
The Arsenal goes to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night for the second section of its semifinal of the Champions League that follows 1-0 of the game in the Emirates, and Arteta says that his European career is a useful reminder of what they have been able to do despite a list of paralyzing injuries.
“I was very surprised just before the match against PSG at home,” he said.
“I saw Takehiro Tomiyasu, Riccardo Caalaariori, Thomas Party, Kai Hvertz, Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus and Jorginho all together in the Dresos Room.
“That could have been an initial alignment and we don’t have them and we haven’t done it for months. No one is talking about that in the building, but that is happening.
“I’m proud of them.”
None of their wounded who walk will return for the game at tomorrow’s house with Bournemouth, but Arteta is still hopeful Jorginho, Calafiori and Hvertz will return before the end of the season.
