The 2018-19 campaign was a season of dramatic transition for Arsenal, marking the first post-Arsène Wenger era under manager Unai Emery. The Gunners finished a respectable 5th in the Premier League, agonisingly missing out on the top four despite the phenomenal form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, whose 22 league goals made him the joint-winner of the Golden Boot. The season was ultimately defined by a brilliant run to the UEFA Europa League Final, a path that offered the club a route back to the Champions League, only to end in a crushing 4-1 defeat to rivals Chelsea in Baku.
