Arsenal's trophy cabinet laid bare

by Martin McCutcheon

Arsenal have not won a trophy since 2005. They have however been in the Champions League every season since, and as the graphic shows, after six seasons representing the cream of English football, their trophy cabinet is bare.

Other big name teams that have been in Europe consistently have several domestic (green and orange circles) and even European titles (red ones) to show. Inter have 9, Barcelona have 8, and Arsenal’s English rivals Chelsea and Manchester United have 5 apiece.

Even teams that do not always play in Europe every season have won titles, like Valencia, as shown.

It is high time Arsenal won something, or perhaps UEFA change who gets into the Champions League.
