On Wednesday, December 18, Arsenal will face Crystal Palace in the English League Cup.
During the pre-match press conference, a journalist asked Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta an uncomfortable question regarding the team’s lack of silverware.
The Spaniard, however, quickly responded, pointing out that, in addition to the FA Cup, the Gunners have also won two Community Shields under his leadership.
“Mikel, you've been here for five years, but only one trophy has been won.”
To which Arteta replied:
“We've won two more England Super Cups, right? So that's three trophies in total.”
Reminder: Arteta has been in charge of Arsenal since 2019. During this time, the team has finished as Premier League runners-up twice and has won one FA Cup and two Community Shields.
Currently, Arsenal sits third in the Premier League standings, trailing leaders Liverpool by six points, having played one game more.
