Europa League final, Chelsea vs Arsenal: Gunners board urge staff to ‘keep some perspective’ in leaked email after loss in Baku

The Gunners are without Champions League football for next season with Unai Emery unlikely to be handed a substantial transfer budget

Arsenal are scrambling to regroup after a heavy defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League final but have urged their staff to “keep some perspective” in a leaked email.

Without Champions League football and a modest budget, the Gunners’ immediate future appears testing.

But after the loss in Baku, Arsenal chiefs Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesham have urged club staff to stick together under Unai Emery.

“I know we are all hurting right now, after a painful and disappointing night,’ arseblog claim the email reads.

“We all know that getting our great football club back to where it needs to be won’t be easy, with plenty of highs and lows along the way, and today was one of those lows.

“Let’s keep some perspective. It is a tough moment right now but we have much to be positive about when reflecting on this transitional season and looking forward to the next.

“To achieve our ambition we need to BE TOGETHER in both the good moments and the bad and we know we have the people across our club to do that.

“And finally, a HUGE thank you to you all for your commitment and hard work across what has been a very demanding season.

“Let’s recharge our batteries over the summer and we will go again hard next season. There are special moments and more finals ahead.

“Let’s keep our heads held high; WE ARE THE ARSENAL.”
