On the other hand, Gunners head coach Mikel Arteta congratulated the Cityzens on retaining the crown and said, “[Man City] deserve to be the champions. They’ve done it for 38 games, and we haven’t been able to do that. That’s it, and from my side, I apologise because we have generated belief that we could do it, and in the end, the team wasn’t able to do it, and that is…"
