Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta summed up the team's performance last season.
"If you look at the statistics, we have already achieved this. We were the best team in the league in almost every indicator. But there are details that we did not control well enough. That's how the league victory eluded us, this level.
It's a big challenge, but it's very inspiring to see such a high-quality and stable team for seven to nine years and try to be better than them. We are focused on the aspects in which we can become better," CNN quoted Arteta as saying.
It is worth reminding that under Arteta's leadership, Arsenal finished second in the English Premier League standings with 89 points.
