The match between Arsenal and Newcastle was not an ordinary match that always happens; we all saw as Newcastle nearly caused a fight after the last whistle. In fact, it was one of the most difficult games of the season. Arsenal had to dig deep and fight hard for every ball. The atmosphere was tense, and both teams knew what was at stake. A single goal was all it took, and Arsenal made it count. That goal, combined with solid defending and strong team spirit, sealed the deal.

The joy that came upon Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after the match was so high that he started congratulating players with their wives and children, making them feel at home. He knew how important this win was not just for the team but for the fans and the future of the club. After the final whistle, he spoke honestly and with pride. “I’m really happy with the result; it was a really tough match,” he said. “We knew that from the beginning. Newcastle are in really good form, and we had to wrap it up.”

Arteta admitted the pressure was high. “It was a lot of pressure for both teams, for us to finish second and make sure that the Champions League was guaranteed. We have managed to do that in a really convincing way,” he added.

He also made it clear that while this was a great achievement, Arsenal fans should expect more. “We had the highs, and the size of the dream was put into delivering a big trophy. That was the aim at the start of the season, and unfortunately we cannot deliver that, but make sure that chasing a dream doesn’t blur you and doesn’t take all the incredible things that this football club is doing.”

He concluded with a hopeful message to fans, promising to keep pushing forward: “We’re going to try to be better. I’ll be the first one to go again and start the season in the manner that this football club deserves.”

He admitted that not winning a trophy this season was disappointing but reminded supporters that the team is giving everything to make it happen soon. His message was clear—stay strong, stay united, and keep believing in what they are building together.
