Arsenal capitulated to a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League final in Baku and the result will have big consequences. This undermines confidence in Unai Emery's ability to
rebuild the Gunners and damages the financial capacity to do so too, writes Adam Bate.
Unai Emery might have been the master of the Europa League having won the competition three times with Sevilla but even he could not get the job done with Arsenal. It is a quarter of a century since the Gunners won a European trophy and that wait will go on after this 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in Baku. It is a result that undermines Emery's efforts to rebuild this team.
For Arsenal, and only Arsenal, there was a place in next season's Champions League at stake. It was they who had more supporters in the stadium. Only their players were on a bonus for winning this competition. Only their team were committed to an open-top bus parade should they bring the trophy back to London. It was a bigger game for them
