Man City striker Erling Haaland insists his Citizens team-mates \u201cshould feel a fire inside\u201d after Arsenal beat them to the Premier League title.<\/p>\n
The Gunners were confirmed as Premier League champions on Tuesday evening as Man City could only pick up a point against Bournemouth in their penultimate match of the season.<\/p>\n
Man City<\/strong> needed a win to keep it going until the final day of the season but now Arsenal<\/strong> have an unassailable four-point lead over Pep Guardiola\u2019s side heading into the last weekend.<\/p>\n It was Arsenal\u2019s first Premier League title victory for 22 years, with the last time they won it going back to the Invincibles season of 2003\/04 under Arsene Wenger.<\/p>\n Man City have now gone two seasons without a Premier League title and Norway international Haaland insists they must come back next term \u201cangry\u201d and with \u201cfire inside\u201d them.<\/p>\n Haaland told City Studios<\/em>: \u201cIn the end, every game in the Premier League is difficult. We tried. It wasn\u2019t enough. The whole Club should use this as motivation now. We should be angry, we should feel a fire inside our belly because it\u2019s not good enough.<\/p>\n READ: <\/span>Arsenal are Premier League champions as history made and \u2018process\u2019 trusted in most fitting way<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s gone two years now, it feels like forever. We\u2019re going to do everything we can, everyone that will be here next season, to win the league.\u201d<\/p>\n Haaland scored the equalising goal in a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Tuesday but it was too little too late for Man City as they conceded the title to Arsenal.<\/p>\n He added on the match itself: \u201cIt\u2019s never easy to come here, especially after a final against a really good team. Finals are always more emotional, it\u2019s always more difficult because you automatically give more. The schedule is tough. There are no excuses. But it\u2019s not easy to come to Bournemouth after playing at Wembley in the FA Cup final.<\/p>\n Man City still managed to win two trophies this season as they lifted the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in Guardiola\u2019s last season at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n READ: <\/span>Did Arsenal have a \u2018defining moment\u2019 in their Premier League title win?<\/strong><\/p>\n Reflecting on Man City\u2019s season overall, Haaland continued:\u00a0\u201cEverything\u2019s relative; it was better than last season. I felt that we could still push a little bit more in the league but it\u2019s over now. We win two trophies, which is important, but we want the Premier (League) as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Following widespread reports that Guardiola is quitting Man City at the end of the season, Fabrizio Romano revealed on Tuesday that Enzo Maresca has agreed to be his replacement.<\/p>\n Romano wrote on X<\/em><\/strong>: \u2018BREAKING: Enzo Maresca has a total verbal agreement with Manchester City, HERE WE GO!
