Mikel Arteta was left speechless.

On the evening of April 19th, Arsenal failed to overcome Manchester City in matchday 33, thus losing their chance to win the Premier League title.

In the final minutes of the match at the Etihad, the cameras repeatedly captured manager Mikel Arteta holding his head with a pensive expression. The Spanish coach understood that the title race was no longer under his and his players' control.

Man City's 1-2 home defeat puts Arsenal at serious risk of losing their top spot. If Man City win their postponed match, the Gunners will be pushed down to second place.

Arsenal played with great effort and at times even sparked hopes of winning the English title. However, the North London team lacked composure and luck at crucial moments.

The away team capitalized on a personal error by Gianluigi Donnarumma to equalize 1-1, and then hit the post twice.

After many years working at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta is still not a worthy rival to Pep Guardiola. The dream of winning the Premier League after a 22-year wait for Arsenal fans is likely to be put on hold against a Manchester City team that is playing too consistently in April and May.

Nevertheless, Arsenal's hopes of winning the title are not yet extinguished. Mikel Arteta and his players need to win every remaining game of the season, and ideally by as large a margin as possible, to avoid a scenario where the championship is decided by goal difference.
