Xhaka "pissed off" in the final defeat of the Europa League | Arseblog News

Granite Xhaka said that the defeat in the Europa League final against Chelsea had been very painful and that because of the failure of this match and the mediocre end of the Premier League campaign , no one at Arsenal can be satisfied with the way that went on last season.

The Swiss international had expressed before the League of Nations tournament that will see his country face Portugal tomorrow, and the midfielder was certainly more outspoken as to the evolution of the situation only last week.

"TIt's the final that's the best moment of my career so far, "he said. "So it hurts a lot, damn it.

"It annoys me a lot to lose."

As for his reflections on his own performances throughout the season and how they went for the Gunners, it was pretty straightforward.

"I set clear objectives before the season," he continued. "It was important for me to further improve the quality of my pbades and my chances to create scoring situations for my teammates.

I wanted to take on more responsibility and become definitely more dangerous in the half of opposition. I have filled all these points for the moment, but there is still much to do and improve.

"As for the club, you can objectively say that despite the upheaval that took place after two decades under Arsene Wenger, our season managed to reach the final of the Europa League and 5th place.

"I think that if you play until the end for the Champions League seats and you miss the end as a result of several useless defeats in the final of the season, we are not allowed to be satisfied as a team.

"Our claim was clearly to reach the Champions League, even though it's getting more and more difficult in our league. That's why I said after the defeat in the final of the Europa League: No, I'm not satisfied with the season. "

Xhaka confessed that it would be honored to take the captaincy next season if it was offered to him, but that will depend a lot on the future of Laurent Koscielny, who is about to leave.

There are also question marks on Mesut Ozil, while the other two captains of Unai Emery – Aaron Ramsey and Petr Cech – have left the club.
