Arsenal were knocked out of the Europa League four weeks ago, falling to Sporting CP on penalties after drawing 3-3 on aggregate.
Plenty of supporters voiced their frustrations considering the north London outfit haven't lifted a European trophy since winning the European Super Cup in 1994. However, the Gunners getting eliminated from the competition looks a lot like a blessing in disguise for their ongoing Premier League title challenge, especially when you look at what happened to Manchester United last night.
Erik ten Hag's men drew 2-2 with Sevilla, losing centre-backs Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez to injury in the second half, with the latter's issue appearing to be serious at the time. Similarly, Mikel Arteta lost right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu and centre-half William Saliba to injury during the second leg of his side's aforementioned loss to Sporting.
