Arsenal great, Robert Pires, has pinpointed why the Gunners lost the 2023-24 Premier League title.
He said that Mikel Arteta’s side lost the opportunity to win the title after slumping to a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
DAILY POST reports that last season, the Gunners ended with 89 points to finish second behind Manchester City, who earned 91 points.
Speaking on The Obi One Podcast with former Chelsea star, John Obi Mikel, Pires shared his views on Arsenal’s 2023-24 Premier League season.
“Can you imagine… you playing for Arsenal or being a manager and finishing the season with 89 points and not being champions?
“It’s crazy, it’s because Manchester City won 15 games in a row at the end. But I think for me, the mistake by Arsenal is when we lost the game at home against Aston Villa. That is when we lost the championship.
“It was difficult for City to break them down to score a goal. The difference between City and [the Gunners] was very small.”
