This year mirrored numerous others of the previous handful of seasons, as Arsenal once more exhibited attractive fashionable, flowing football and they produced some memorable nights at the Emirates Stadium, which includes the defeat of Barcelona in the Champions League team phase and an emphatic victory about Chelsea.

The optimism of the early time was limited-lived as Arsenal again completed the year without having a trophy, the Gunners completed in fourth put in the Leading League, which will now have to have them to qualify for upcoming yrs Champions League team levels.
