Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has candidly expressed the emotional toll of narrowly missing out on the 2024–25 Premier League title to Liverpool. In a recent interview, Arteta admitted that watching Liverpool’s title celebrations “hurt big time” and that the loss was felt deeply, saying, “It was in my tummy.” He acknowledged Liverpool’s consistency and resilience throughout the season, stating, “They were the better team… they had a consistent squad available.”
Liverpool clinched their 20th English league title on April 27, 2025, with a commanding 5–1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, securing the championship with four games to spare . Under the guidance of Arne Slot, in his debut season as manager, the Reds demonstrated tactical precision and defensive solidity, conceding only 27 goals and maintaining a 26-match unbeaten streak.
Arteta’s Arsenal, despite a strong campaign, experienced a dip in form towards the season’s end, including a surprising 2–1 home defeat to Bournemouth. This loss not only impacted their title aspirations but also placed their Champions League qualification in jeopardy, with pundits like Jamie Carragher predicting a potential fourth-place finish for the Gunners.
Looking ahead, Arteta emphasized the importance of channeling the team’s frustration into their upcoming Champions League semi-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, where they trail 1–0. He urged his players to use the “rage” from recent setbacks as motivation to finish the season strongly.
Liverpool’s triumph under Slot not only marks a significant achievement for the club but also underscores the challenges Arsenal faces in their quest for silverware. As the season concludes, Arteta remains focused on securing a strong finish and building upon the progress made this year.
