Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, said ge is to blame for the team’s inability to win the Premier League title this season.
The Gunners’ 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, confirmed Manchester City as the champions for the third consecutive year.
It is a huge blow for Arteta’s men, who held an eight-point lead at the start of April.
However, a run of two wins from eight games saw City overtake them to retain their trophy.
“From my side, I apologise because we have generated that belief that we could do it and at the end the team couldn’t do it. That’s my responsibility.
“We’re here to win, I want to win, I love winning, I love what everyone does at this club to win. When you don’t get there it’s painful,” Arteta said.
