The 2017-18 campaign delivered a turbulent and poignant season for Arsenal as The Gunners dramatically fell to a disappointing 6th-place finish in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League qualification for the first time in two decades. This challenging year was entirely defined by the emotional farewell of the legendary Arsène Wenger, who stepped down after 22 years in charge. While the side lifted the FA Community Shield and reached the EFL Cup Final, their European dreams were ultimately crushed in a heart-breaking Europa League Semi-final defeat to Atlético Madrid. Leading the line was the club-record summer signing Alexandre Lacazette, whose 14 league goals were a bright spark, complemented by the creative brilliance of Mesut Özil and the sensational January arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. It remains a watershed chapter in the club’s modern history, marking the definitive closure of the iconic Wenger era.
