Former Arsenal star, Emmanuel Petit, has hit out at the Gunners for their performances this season.
Petit insisted that Arsenal have failed under their manager Mikel Arteta this term.
The Frenchman also admitted that he was tired of watching Arsenal go trophyless again after being eliminated from the Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain this season.
“After we lost against Paris Saint-Germain, the fans were mocking Arsenal because of that,” Petit told Casinozonderlimiet (via GOAL).
“It’s the same in England, you know, Arsenal are a good team, a good club, but everyone says that they are not one of the top clubs in Europe in terms of history.
“That is because they have failed and I am tired of it. This team needs to change the situation and win something, they need to compete until the end and not just at the start,” he stated.
Arsenal will have to wait until next season to see if they can win a trophy.
But the Premier League North London club need to strengthen their squad this summer transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur have won this year’s Europa League, following a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Wednesday night.
Both teams came into the game looking to win the trophy that would have been a huge positive in a dreadful season.
Winning the Europa would also secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
And it was Spurs who scored the only goal of the match in Bilbao.
Brennan Johnson got on the end of a loose ball in the area to prod it past Andre Onana in the first half.
Manchester United dominated possession but struggled to convert it into clear opportunities, coming closest when Rasmus Hojlund’s header nearly equalized before being cleared acrobatically by Micky van de Ven on the line, and a 97th-minute save by Vicario from a Luke Shaw header.
