The 2021-22 campaign was a season of spectacular resurgence and ultimate heartbreak for Arsenal as The Gunners, fielding the Premier League's youngest squad, clinched a 5th-place finish just shy of the Champions League.

It was a vital year that showed the potential of the 'Young Gunners' but ended in agonizing disappointment.
