LONDON: Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says the Gunners believe this season will be different as they look to overcome some narrow setbacks in their title chase.

Arteta has not won any trophies since lifting the FA Cup in his first season as manager in the 2019-20 season.

However, he managed to turn Arsenal into a consistent contender for major trophies.

Arteta’s men finished the English Premier League (EPL) as runners-up for three consecutive seasons and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009 last season.

Now, pressure is mounting on the Spanish manager to steer his team further after another transfer window involving major investment.

Almost £200 million was spent on new striker Viktor Gyokeres, midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, central defender Cristhian Mosquera as well as winger Noni Madueke and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

“We know what our targets are and what we want to achieve this season – there is great confidence in our ability to achieve them,” Arteta said in his programme notes ahead of the pre-season friendly against Villarreal later this morning.

“We’ve been very, very close in recent seasons and the whole team will determine whether we achieve it or not.

“But at the same time, we need to make sure we don’t lose focus on what we need to do every day to reach the level we want.

“We need to set the demands we want in this goal, because that’s the most important thing – the internal demands should always outweigh any external demands. That’s what we try to achieve every day.”

Arteta also added that he wants his players to feel “invincible” when playing at home due to the special relationship they have with the club’s supporters.

“We want our fans to immediately connect with the players, start building momentum and start feeling at home that we are invincible,” he said.

“That we played here with such passion, energy and an incredible connection with our fans, that we were confident we would win the game.”

Arsenal will begin their EPL campaign with a highly anticipated match against Manchester United on August 17.

SEOUL: Marcus Rashford scored his first goal for Barcelona amid the club’s ongoing issues with him still not being able to officially register before the start of the La Liga season.

The 27-year-old striker joined the Spanish giants on a season-long loan from Manchester United last month.

Rashford’s first goal came in a 5-0 victory over Daegu FC on their pre-season tour of South Korea last night.

Lamine Yamal stole the show in the first half with some deceptive runs and created plenty of chances.

Rashford jokingly touched Yamal’s “magical” left foot when he came on as a substitute in the second half and it turned out to be lucky.

The England winger showed a calm finish when he fired a shot into the bottom corner of the goal from 12 yards in the 65th minute.

A fan also showed Rashford’s number 10 Manchester United jersey after the goal.

However, despite it being Rashford’s third pre-season friendly appearance for Barca, he is still not registered to play in the La Liga competition.

Barcelona are still struggling to comply with La Liga’s salary cap, making it difficult for them to sign new players.

The La Liga champions faced a similar situation last season when Dani Olmo had to wait before making his league debut after joining the club in the summer of 2024.

At that time, La Liga granted Barcelona a temporary license to register Olmo and Victor.

Apart from Rashford, Barca have also yet to register several new players this summer such as Joan Garcia, Roony Bardghji, Wojciech Szczesny (goalkeeper) and Gerard Martin (defender).

But with less than two weeks to go before the league opener against Mallorca, Rashford remains calm.

Before kick-off, Rashford said: “It’s a club matter. I trust they will sort it out. I’m just focused on training and getting ready for the start of the season.”

Rashford is now the first English player to score for Barcelona since Gary Lineker did so between 1986 and 1989.

Barcelona also have the option to buy Rashford permanently at the end of the season for a fee of £30 million.
