Over the past week, Arsenal has been the talk of the town after taking advantage of Liverpool's failure to defeat Manchester United. Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, has been closely following Liverpool's recent struggles and believes it highlights the challenges of competing for multiple trophies. Despite already securing the Carabao Cup, Liverpool had their sights set on a historic quadruple to honor their departing manager, Jurgen Klopp.
However, things took a turn for the worse when they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United and dropped points in the Premier League with a draw against the same team. Their hopes of European success also took a hit with a surprising 3-0 defeat against Atalanta. Similarly, Arsenal is also fighting on multiple fronts and their chances of progressing in the Champions League are uncertain after a draw against Bayern Munich.
When asked about the difficulty of competing for multiple top prizes, Arteta responded, "There is difficulty in winning any match in any competition. Whether it's in Europe or in the Premier League, it's always a tough battle to come out on top." Up next, Liverpool faced a shocking defeat against Atalanta in the Europa League.
Despite dropping points against their biggest rivals, Klopp was content with Liverpool's performance and confidently stated that if Arsenal were to play at the same level when they visit Old Trafford in May, the result would be a sure victory. However, Arteta refused to engage in any mind games and instead focused on his own team, saying, "I have enough in my garden to look after my garden, so I don't want to give any opinions about other clubs."

But for Arteta and Arsenal, their main focus is their upcoming match against Aston Villa and the challenge posed by Unai Emery's side, who are also vying for a top four spot.
Arteta recognizes the impact Emery has had on the club since his arrival and is impressed by their consistent performances. He said, "What they've done since Unai came in is unbelievable. They've made a huge impact in terms of performances and consistency. They're still competing in European competition and played last night, so it's really impressive." As for Arsenal, they are determined to continue their own impressive run and secure a spot in the top three.
