Despite still being at the top of the Premier League, Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta’s demeanor after the team’s 4-1 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday indicates that he believes their chances of winning the title are now slim.

City dominated the game and scored four goals, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring twice, John Stones and Erling Haaland also scoring. The opposing team struggled to keep up with City’s attack.

If reigning champions City win against Fulham this weekend, they will overtake Arsenal and become the top team, despite having been behind for most of the season.

Arteta said that he is unsure about the requirements for Arsenal to win the title and that the players need to be lifted up after their recent defeat.

We must continue to perform as effectively as we have been and strive to achieve success.

Although Arsenal’s loss to City may be viewed as the turning point in the race for the title, the reality is that they had already lost their momentum due to a poor performance in April. They had drawn two games against Liverpool and West Ham United despite leading by two goals, and then had a chaotic 3-3 draw against Southampton, who are currently at the bottom of the league, on Friday.

Arsenal lost to Manchester City because they didn’t play well in the first 30 minutes and were missing a key player, William Saliba. Arsenal’s coach, Arteta, admitted that they didn’t do the basics against a top team and were punished. City played exceptionally well.

Today, we were not performing as well as we usually do, even though we are usually an outstanding team.

De Bruyne from City mentioned that they still have seven league games left and are still behind Arsenal. However, even the most hopeful Arsenal fans will likely accept second place as their final position.

Despite not being considered as title contenders at the beginning of the season and not finishing in the top four since 2016, the club has achieved a decent result. Arteta acknowledged that the initial stats predicted them to finish in sixth or seventh place.

The players deserve recognition for getting us to where we are against this team after nine months. However, there are still five games left and things can change quickly in this country, where I have been for 22 years.

Despite the current difficulties, it is important to remain resilient and focus on the larger perspective. It is remarkable that we are able to compete against the City team.
