Arteta has been credited with guiding Arsenal back to silverware after a five-year trophy drought, and Hargreaves told TNT Sports: “I love the patience the club have shown. They deserve it. They\u2019ve been the best team this season.<\/p>\n
“They\u2019ve been the most consistent. If you look across virtually every category, they\u2019ve been the best – home form, away form, clean sheets.<\/p>\n
“I think only goals scored has been close. Fewest goals conceded. They\u2019re top of everything, most goals from set pieces. I think it\u2019s well deserved.<\/p>\n
“Obviously it\u2019s been a different season with a lot of VAR decisions and things, but this is now where Arsenal really start.<\/p>\n
“You win one – and if you win the Champions League and strengthen in the summer like they did last year, Arsenal could go on to win it for the next three or four years. This group of players is growing together.<\/p>\n

“The first one is always the hardest. Once you get that first one, confidence grows. If they can beat PSG, then everybody\u2019s got a problem with Arsenal for quite some time.”<\/p>\n
A 14th English title was widely celebrated outside the Emirates Stadium by Arsenal supporters, but attention is already turning toward the possibility of an unprecedented domestic and European double.<\/p>\n
As Hargreaves mentioned, Arsenal\u2019s success this season has been built heavily on set-piece goals, with Kai Havertz’s headed winner against Burnley<\/a> providing another example of their effectiveness in that area.<\/p>\n The Gunners have now scored from set pieces in 19 different Premier League matches during the 2025\/26 season, a joint record in a 38-game campaign, according to Opta.<\/p>\n Arsenal’s defence has kept 32 clean sheets across all competitions this term, six more than any other side in Europe’s top five leagues.<\/p>\n ‘They called us bottlers, now we’re holding the bottles!’ – Saka, Lewis-Skelly celebrate<\/p>\n Video credit: SNTV<\/p>\n Arteta\u2019s side have also won 1-0 on eight occasions this season – their second-highest tally in a single campaign – a scoreline that could again prove decisive against Paris Saint-Germain if they are to be crowned European champions for the first time.<\/p>\n Speaking ahead of Aston Villa\u2019s Europa League final against Freiburg<\/a>, Stiliyan Petrov told TNT Sports: “It’s going to be a tough game. They\u2019re going to face Paris Saint-Germain. Luis Enrique has built something special there. They play a certain way.<\/p>\n “They\u2019ve got great individual players who can win matches. They play as a team, but they also have individuals who know how to decide games.<\/p>\n “It will be tough for Arsenal, but winning the league and giving themselves the opportunity to go and win the Champions League is a great achievement.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m going for Paris Saint-Germain to win, unfortunately.”<\/p>\n Add TNT Sports as a preferred source here<\/a> to enjoy more content like this.Stream the Premier League, men\u2019s and women\u2019s FA Cups, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League and more live on TNT Sports and HBO Max<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018They could win it for next three or four years\u2019 \u2013 Are Arsenal set for era of dominance?…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":595476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[116281,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-595475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-champions-league-2025-2026","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=595475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/595476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=595475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=595475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=595475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"picture\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-052b7d30-8397-4313-9cf0-027dd421dab6-85-2560-1440.jpeg\")
