Arteta Disagrees On Notion Of Measuring Success With Trophies, Congratulates Rivals Spurs For “Beautiful Moment” After Europa League Triumph

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta congratulated North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur after they lifted the Europa League trophy on Wednesday, but insisted that a team’s success in a season should not be measured by their trophy count.

Arteta’s side currently sit second in the Premier League behind champions Liverpool and will finish without any silverware this season – but Spurs who have had a dreadful domestic campaign and sit 17th, have ended their season on a high after winning a European trophy.

“They are [Europa League] champions and when you get to that you have to do a lot of things right. I think they’re going through a season with a lot of obstacles and difficulties. And they have, at the end… a beautiful moment,” Arteta said.

Quizzed at a press conference on Thursday about which of the two teams have had a better season, Arteta avoided a direct comparison between Tottenham and his own side.

“I don’t like to compare with other teams. I need to analyse my team, that’s my job,” added the Spaniard, who led Arsenal to the Champions League semi-finals where they were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month.

Arteta insisted a team should not be judged solely on their trophy count in a season, citing the example of his own side, who have never won the Champions League and have not lifted the Premier League trophy since 2003/04.

“Where is the joy then? Because then if I have to analyse ourselves … we have failed the last 20 years in the Premier League and we have failed in all our history in the Champions League,” Arteta continued.

“Who are we then? Where is our brand, where is our club… where is our value, our way of playing? Where are the moments that we lived together with our people?” Arteta said.

Arsenal, who have conceded only 33 league goals so far this season, seven fewer than Liverpool, were motivated to finish with the best defensive record in the top flight as they bring an end to their campaign at relegated Southampton on Sunday.

“We want to have as many points as possible. We still want to achieve the best defensive record … finish the season on a high,” he said.
