History

Historical Context

Arsenal's investment of £50 million in players like Thierry Henry and Robert Pires in 2003 led to a historic unbeaten league season in 2003-04. However, following Manchester City's financial takeover in 2008, Arsenal struggled to maintain dominance, often losing key players.
