Mikel Arteta Faces Continued Challenges Amid Arsenal's Title Woes

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed deep disappointment after Liverpool secured the Premier League title, marking the third consecutive season Arsenal have fallen short in the title race. Arteta praised Liverpool's consistency and the ability to keep their key players fit, contrasting it with Arsenal's persistent injury issues, which have sidelined several first-team players for extended periods. Ahead of their Champions League semi-final, Arteta was struck by the number of injured players, describing them as a 'starting lineup' he has been unable to field for months. Despite these setbacks, Arteta remains proud of how the club has responded to adversity and maintains hope for future success. The club's ongoing trophy drought is compounded by a worrying trend of failing to score in recent semi-final matches, a challenge they must overcome to keep their Champions League ambitions alive.
