Mikel Arteta is 'unsatisfied and upset' with Arsenal's trophyless season

Mikel Arteta is "unsatisfied and upset" that Arsenal are ending the season without a trophy.

The Gunners secured Champions League qualification for next season after beating Newcastle 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday (18.05.25) but the coach has expressed disappointment that they are ending another campaign without silverware.

Arteta told reporters: "Liverpool have a trophy - we don't have a trophy.

"We are unsatisfied and upset. But I think we are on the right trajectory.

"What I can promise is that I will do my very best [to win a trophy] and I will give my life, and get every drop of everybody here to squeeze it and get the best out of them."

Asked whether Arsenal supporters still back him, the manager added: "That's what I feel but they want more, they have expectations. We need to believe we are going to do it together."

Arsenal have not won a trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 2020 but Arteta urged the club to chase silverware with "positivity and enthusiasm" next term.

He said: "We had a dream, it was to be here or in a week's time and bring the big trophies to you guys and we couldn't do it for many circumstances.

"We need to make sure that chasing a dream doesn't get blurry and make sure we chase the dream with positivity and enthusiasm for next season.

"We have to start creating our own history here in this stadium and we started this season. There is much more to come and it won't be easy. These players have the talent.

"We need to rest and finish at Southampton and then go on holiday."
