Arteta is on the verge of making back-to-back Champions League semi-finals for the first time in Arsenal history m, and in just a few years he’s given Arsenal something they hadn’t truly had in a long time, belief. Not just hope, but actual belief that they belong at the very top again. Because before him, Arsenal had become… comfortable. Top 4 was the goal, not the starting point. Big games felt like survival missions, not statements. But Arteta changed that. Now when Arsenal step onto the pitch, especially at Emirates, there’s an expectation to Win, not just compete. And that’s the biggest shift, mentality and identity. You can criticize him for certain things, overthinking in big moments, being too rigid at times, or even how some title races slipped and those are fair conversations. But zoom out a bit, and you see the real picture, he rebuilt a broken structure. From recruitment to tactics to culture, everything now has a clear direction. This is a team that presses as one, attacks with structure, and controls games territorially. They’re not just talented. they’re coached. You can see patterns, relationships, understanding between players. He’s also changed how Arsenal are perceived globally again. For the first time in years, they’re genuinely in conversations with Europe’s Best team, not as a historic club living off the past, but as a current powerhouse. So yes, you can blame him for this moments… but you can’t deny what he’s built. Because Arteta didn’t just improve Arsenal, he reset their standard.
