The Gunners Arsenal will go to Anfield to challenge the Reds Liverpool, who have already won the championship, in the 36th round of the 2024/25 Premier League. Arteta said he hopes the team will continue to perform strongly and is proud of its competitiveness.

With Liverpool securing the Premier League title this season four rounds in advance, Arsenal set their sights on the Champions League. Unfortunately, Arsenal lost to Paris Saint-Germain again in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final earlier, missing out on a trophy to end the season.

Arsenal manager Arteta said at a press conference, "We are proud of ourselves, but we must ensure that we can end the season to the same standard. Although it is clear that we cannot win the Premier League title, there are still three games in the next 16 days. What we have to do at least is to end the season as a competitor and make ourselves proud."

"We are very close because with the points we have achieved in the last few seasons, we could have won two Premier League titles in other seasons. So we know we are close and the team's statistics and performances are enough to win the title. We may need a little luck and do better to make sure no other team can surpass us."

Encourage the team to turn pain into motivation

Arteta also said, "In the Champions League, if we can continue to maintain such data and performance, we have a great chance of winning the championship, which is why many people think we have a chance to go all the way to the end."

“I want to thank the fans for their support, their trust and the energy they brought to the team. It has been a great journey and we would have loved to have gone further and lifted a trophy, but unfortunately we were not able to do so.”

On the other hand, Arsenal will line up to pay tribute to Liverpool players before the start of this round of games.

Arteta said, “They deserve such a tribute. They are the best and most stable team this season. Slot and his coaching staff have done a great job and they fully deserve it. This is the spirit of sports. If there is an opponent who is stronger than you, you must admit and accept it and strive to reach that height.”

"Sometimes this pain can be a source of motivation. When you really want to achieve something, this feeling is a very powerful source of motivation. The parade is the right thing to do, but you also need to turn this experience into motivation for next season."

Arteta added, "They will hold the trophy, and someone will always stand up and take it away from them. I believe there will be many strong contenders next season. They will be fully prepared and continue to improve their level, making the championship battle more intense."
