As Arsenal heads into the final day of the Premier League season, Martin Ødegaard stresses the importance of not letting emotions get the better of the players. Despite being two points behind leaders Manchester City, Ødegaard emphasizes the need to focus on themselves and not get too emotional about the situation. The north London side must win their final game to have a chance at ending their 20-year title drought, while City could secure their fourth title in a row with a win against West Ham United.
Reflecting on Arsenal’s performance in the 2022-2023 season, where they finished second five points behind City, Ødegaard believes the team has made significant progress. He mentions that they have taken good steps forward and are now in a much better position compared to last season. With some impressive games and results, Ødegaard feels that Arsenal is in a strong position to push for the league title until the last day of the season.
Arsenal’s last league title victory came in the 2003-04 season under manager Arsène Wenger, during the ‘Invincibles’ campaign where they remained unbeaten throughout the season. Despite the long wait for another title, Ødegaard and the team are determined to give their fans a good last game of the season as they aim to secure a crucial win on the final day.
In other news, Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has announced his departure from the club on a free transfer at the end of the season. As the longest-serving player in the Arsenal squad, Elneny expressed his gratitude to the fans for their love, support, and kindness throughout his nearly nine-year spell at the club. He thanked the fans for their continuous support and mentioned that he will be seeing them at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday to say goodbye in person.
Overall, as Arsenal prepares for the final day of the Premier League season, the players are focused on the task at hand and are determined to give it their all. Despite the challenges they face in chasing the league title, the team remains optimistic and driven to end their 20-year drought. With Ødegaard’s leadership and the support of the fans, Arsenal is ready to fight till the last minute to achieve their goal of clinching the league title.
