Arsenal ace Robin van Persie insists they can still pull off a League title triumph.
The Dutchman admits the players have been hit hard by recent defeats.
"It's a real blow that we threw away three trophies within the space of only three weeks. However, we still have another big objective and that's winning the Premier League title," he said.
"We're five points behind Manchester United, but have a game in hand, so we can narrow the gap to two points. It's actually an advantage that we're no longer active in other competitions, so we won't get distracted. We still have everything in our own hands and will do our utmost to win the league title, even though we have been dealt a few big blows in recent weeks."
Van Persie hopes they've learned their lessons from recent defeats.
"It felt really good when we were 2-1 up against Barcelona, but it was all the more painful that we were eventually eliminated. However, this is football and it's still a great sport. I don't feel like our loss was an injustice. These kinds of things are all part of the game," he said.
"Birmingham beat us in the final, but then lost the following four league games. The Premier League has been absolutely crazy this year. I hope that we learned something from the lost final, but you never know whether you actually did. When something goes wrong the first time, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will go better the next time."
