Arsenal lost on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final, missing the opportunity to win the competition for the first time in their history.
They were also beaten by Manchester City in the League Cup final in March, before losing to Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final quarter-final.
Should Arsenal’s season be regarded as a success?
Arsenal were in a very good position to win the quadruple after starting the season strongly.
They were producing impressive performances against teams in the Premier League and finished the Champions League league phase at the top of the standings.
They eventually ended up with only the league title, sparking debate on whether it was a successful season for the north London side.
The answer should be in the affirmative, because they ended a 22-year wait for the Premier League crown, while managing to reach two finals.
Arsenal have now established themselves as the leading club in England and one of the best sides in Europe.
Speaking about Mikel Arteta’s side ahead of their Champions League final meeting, PSG manager Luis Enrique said: “Without the ball, they are the best team in the world, and with it, they can score a lot.’
Arsenal now need to build on this season’s success by adding more flair to their play, particularly against the best teams.
For instance, they recorded 24.7 percent possession against PSG — the lowest in the Champions League final since the 2003/04 season.

The Gunners were also outplayed by Manchester City in the League Cup final, with the Cityzens running out 2-0 winners.
Arsenal also need to strengthen their squad this summer. They need a new left winger to replace Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, while signing another central midfielder should be on their agenda.
Overall, the Gunners can take pride in their league triumph, despite missing out on other major trophies.
