'Season is over'- Distraught Arsenal fans endure back-to-back title race misery as Liverpool extend gap

Arsenal find themselves on the verge of losing out on another title race as Liverpool extend gap.

Arsenal's long-standing Premier League title drought looks set to continue as they find themselves trailing league leaders Liverpool by a staggering 16 points.

Despite their resurgence under Mikel Arteta in recent years, the Gunners have once again faltered in their pursuit of the crown, with a familiar feeling of disappointment settling in among the fanbase.

Having come close in the past two seasons—losing out to Manchester City in both the 2022/23 and 2023/24 campaigns—Arsenal now faces an uphill battle that appears all but insurmountable.

With only a handful of matches left and Liverpool showing no signs of slowing down, Arteta's men are staring at another season without domestic glory.

This sense of hopelessness has left some Arsenal fans disengaged from the upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester United, instead urging the team to shift its focus to the Champions League.

One fan voiced their frustration online, saying, "Focus on the Champions League. Season is over."

Another added, "Wish I could get excited… 16 points behind Liverpool tho."

With their Premier League title challenge effectively over, Arsenal supporters have turned their hopes toward European success.

Their optimism was reignited after an emphatic 7-0 thrashing of PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Tuesday, a result that all but secured their spot in the quarter-finals.

As they await a potential showdown with European giants like Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, many believe that continental success is now a more realistic target than catching Liverpool in the league.

As Arsenal prepares for their clash with Manchester United, the question remains whether Arteta's side will fight until the end in the league, or will their focus completely shift to Europe?
