Robin van Persie says Arsenal must take that final winning step next season.
While Van Persie, 27, accepts another season of what might have been is difficult to take, the 19-goal Dutchman insists Arsenal can rise to the challenge in 2012.
"It is time to make that final step," Van Persie told Arsenal TV Online.
"We came so close a couple of times and achieved a [Carling Cup] final this year, but we need to play at least two or three finals and be involved in those circumstances.
"If you look at Manchester United, we can be better than them but they are [most likely] in the final of the Champions League, have a big chance of winning the Premier League and were in the semi-final of the FA Cup.
"We want to be in those positions and it's up to us to do that."
