After Arsenal left, Xhaka, Van Persie, and other players won league titles

The 2023–24 Premier League season was intensely competitive and ended in agony for Arsenal, who fulfilled every need except remembering to “don’t dash City the league.”

In the 2023–24 football season, Mikel Arteta’s team, which finished the previous season five points behind the reigning champions, Manchester City, with 84 points, went all out and matched Pep Guardiola’s squad’s league-winning 89 points.

Having 89 points would have guaranteed Arsenal the Premier League in 20 of the 31 seasons before 2023–24, which featured the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp, and Guardiola himself (judging from last season). Sadly, Arsenal’s home loss to Aston Villa gave City a 2-point lead and the championship.

Taking second place behind City highlights Arsenal’s two-decade-long trophy absence, which has earned them the moniker “Bottlers FC.” After leaving Arsenal, these players went on to win championships both domestically and abroad. VIEW LIST HERE
