Arsenal's recent European exit was particularly painful, as it symbolized a missed opportunity. The team performed admirably against PSG but failed to convert chances into goals, scoring just once in 180 minutes despite having a higher expected goals (XG) count. The issue of missed chances has been a recurring theme in Arsenal's season, with a lack of decisive finishing noted. Their failure to enhance their attacking options in past transfer windows ultimately backfired, leaving them without the necessary firepower to capitalize on opportunities when it mattered most.
This was one of the most painful European exits I can remember for Arsenal...there's just a real feeling that this was a huge missed opportunity for the club.
In those huge moments you have to find a way to beat the best goalkeepers and Arsenal couldn't do that...they scored once in 180 minutes despite creating all those opportunities.
The frustrating thing is pretty much everyone could have told you that at the start of the season...there is a lack of ruthlessness in attack.
The club gambled massively in the last two transfer windows by sitting on their hands and doing nothing to bolster the attacking options and that gamble has backfired.
