Arsenal will be playing Europa League football again next season after defeat against Chelsea in Baku saw the Gunners miss out on potential Champions League qualification.
The Gunners headed into Wednesday night's Europa League Final knowing that only a win would see them qualify for the 2019-20 Champions League.
Unai Emery's side had looked odds-on to qualify for Europe's elite club competition via a top-four finish during the Premier League run-in, but a disastrous string of results saw them finish fifth in the table.
That left winning the Europa League as their final chance of reaching the Champions League next term, but Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-1 in Baku to extinguish those hopes.
Arsenal's failure to qualify for the Champions League is also set to have a knock-on effect for their summer transfer plans, with Emery set to have a smaller budget as a result.
The Gunners join Manchester United in the Europa League next season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils missing out after finishing sixth in the table.
