Arsenal fullback Emmanuel Eboue insists they can be proud of this season - despite the prospect of finishing with no trophies.
"We have all developed into better players and we will definitely come back stronger after what happened to us this year.
"I have faith in this squad, in these players and in our coach, Arsene Wenger, to bring us to the top. We have to keep working like we have done this season, keep improving in all aspects, defensively, offensively, individually and as a team so we can compete again for the title next season and this time be crowned champions.
"At the start of the season, nobody was thinking that we could challenge for the title. So everything we did was positive. We have defied the odds and this squad can achieve so much more.
"We will build on what we did well this season and on our strengths to come back stronger next season. Despite having a lot of young players in our squad, we have massive potential and we only showed a glimpse of what we can do. I am convinced that next season we will be even better."
