Liverpool Deserved To Win Title, But It's Very Painful, Says Arsenal Head Coach Mikel Arteta
With Bukayo Saka: Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta believes Liverpool deserved to win the Premier League 2024-25 title, citing their consistency as the key factor in the side, but admitted that not winning the title, 'is very painful'. Arsenal are on course to finish in second place for the third season in a row as their title drought has now extended to 21 years, with their last league title coming in 2002.
"Big time, yeah. I understand that (Liverpool) is a team that is being more consistent and they have a lot of ingredients that you need to win it, but it's very painful, yeah," said Arteta in a press conference.
He further went on to reflect on Liverpool's run to becoming champions and mentioned that Arne Slot's men were dealt a better hand when it comes to injuries, but that does not take away from the fact that the Merseyside club were the 'deserved champions'.
