Arsenal may have fallen short in their pursuit of a historic quadruple, however their 2025/26 season still carries the weight of something special.
After the recent cup final defeat to Manchester City, which you can revisit in ReadArsenal’s player ratings and match breakdown, Mikel Arteta’s side saw one route to history close. Nevertheless, the broader picture tells a different story.
Rather than collapse, Arsenal continue to push forward; and now, they stand on the brink of rewriting multiple club records.
With 10 to 15 matches remaining across competitions, this team have placed themselves in a position where history no longer feels like a stretch; it feels inevitable.
Most wins record firmly in sight
Arsenal have already recorded 38 wins across all competitions this season.
That total places them within touching distance of the club record of 41 wins, set during the 1970/71 campaign. In addition, they have already moved beyond the Invincibles era tally of 39 wins in 2001/02.
Therefore, the equation is simple; maintain current form and the record falls.
Given their consistency across competitions, Arsenal control their own path toward that milestone.
Goalscoring numbers highlight attacking evolution
Equally, Arsenal’s attacking output has reached historic levels.
The team have scored 106 goals so far this season, a figure we explored in detail when they first broke the 100 goal barrier earlier in the season.
Since then, they have continued to build on that total.
Now, they sit just 15 goals away from the club’s post war record of 121 from 2016/17, while the all time record of 135, set in 1930/31, also remains within reach.
As a result, this is no longer just a strong attacking season; it is one that could redefine Arsenal’s offensive history.
Win percentage reflects elite consistency
Beyond goals and wins, Arsenal’s dominance shows most clearly in their win rate.
They currently hold a 76 percent win percentage, the highest in club history.
That number reflects control, structure and maturity; not just moments of brilliance. More importantly, sustaining that level across a full campaign would place this side among the most efficient Arsenal teams ever assembled.

Squad depth drives goalscorer record push
Another key indicator of Arsenal’s strength lies in their spread of goals.
The club have seen 20 different players score this season, which puts them within range of the record of 22, set in 2016/17.
This variation highlights the collective nature of Arteta’s system. Rather than rely on one or two individuals, Arsenal attack in waves, with threats emerging from midfield, defence and the forward line.
Consequently, they have become harder to predict and even harder to stop.
History still within reach despite cup final setback
Although the defeat to Manchester City ended hopes of an unprecedented quadruple, Arsenal’s season remains alive with possibility.
In fact, removing that pressure may allow the team to focus entirely on the records still available to them.
Now, the narrative shifts.
Instead of chasing everything, Arsenal can chase perfection within what remains.
And if they maintain this level, this will not be remembered as the season that fell short.
It will be remembered as the season that made history.
