[ad_pod ]It was not a good seven days for Arsenal supporters last week.Gunners fans had to make arguably the most difficult journey of their lives to get to Baku for the Europa League final, only to watch their side put in a pathetic performance against Chelsea and lose the game by four goals to one.After that disaster came to an end, they were then left to deal with the prospect of their arch rivals Tottenham lifting the Champions League before them, which would’ve been a truly embarrassing moment for a club who have long been the superior force in north London.From 6-0 FA Cup final maulings to Mkhitaryan missing the the Europa League final, is football broken? Fans discuss in the video below…Thankfully for them, Spurs lost 2-0 to Liverpool, but it has still been a miserable period of time for the Arsenal fans who won’t get to watch their team play Champions League football for yet another season.In addition to that, an image that has appeared on Twitter will make them feel much worse about their trophyless season.
Four players that have left the club in the last two years are pictured above, and all of them are holding significant pieces of silverware that will leave Arsenal fans wondering why these players were ever let go in the first place, seeing how well they’ve done at their new clubs.
Olivier Giroud left the Emirates Stadium in January 2018 to join Chelsea for £18m, and embarrassed his former employers by netting the opening goal in Baku as well as grabbing an assist as his new side beat the north Londoners to the Europa League title.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain parted two summers ago and has been involved in two Champions League finals already, winning one on Saturday.
Francis Coquelin and Gabriel Paulista both left the club to join Valencia within the space of six months, and have already added a medal of massive importance to their cabinets in the form of the Copa del Rey, both starting in the 2-1 win over Barcelona two weekends ago.
Amid a dismal period for Gunners supporters, watching the players they let go succeed whilst they suffer will only make their blood boil more.
