Arsenal have finished on the 2nd positions for two years in a row. They lost the title both times to Manchester City. In 2022/23 season they lost by 5 points whereas they lost it in 2023/24 by only 2 points. Gunners have not won the league title since 2003/04 season where they went invincible. Bukayo Saka feels like the wait is over and this is finally their year.
Gunners have made a steady start to the season. They have not yet been defeated and are sitting on 3rd position in Premier League. Arsenal were very close to defeat City but failed as they conceded a last minute equalizer. This kept them away from sitting on the first position in the league.
Saka has been the best player for Arsenal this season. He was scored 2 goals and bagged 5 assists in all competitions. In the Premier League, he is the top assist provider above Salah and Palmer who both have 4 assists each.
Bukayo Saka feels that the wait is finally over
Saka told CBS Sports that he is nothing putting too much pressure on the team but he feels like this is the year. He added that they came close in the last two years and hopefully this will be the year.
“Previous years I have come runner-ups a lot. It’s just that spirit in me that I want to win this season and ofcourse I believe in myself a lot” – Saka about his mentality.
“With those two things, it helps. We believe in ourself, we believe we are a top team. We showed that tonight. I did tell the boys we have to make a statement when big teams are coming to The Emirates” – Saka after their victory over PSG.
The mentality of Arsenal players can be seen from Saka’s statements. Mikel Arteta is surely doing a great job and will hope to put an end to the league title drought after 21 years. Gunners will play against Southampton next at their home on Saturday.
