The Frenchman has opted to join the Italian giants instead of signing a contract extension with the Gunners, who led favourites Manchester United by five points in February.
Asked if winning the title would have made a difference, Flamini told the News of the World: "That would have weighed in the balance. It would certainly have counted.
"I actually wanted to sign a new contract at Arsenal last July but it didn't happen. AC Milan did so much to sign me I couldn't refuse.
"What happened to us after leading the league for so long was the most painful experience I had during four years at Arsenal," he added.

"Just Enjoy UEFA Cup Next Season :D:D:D. He is so stuped because he is leaving a club who has potintal to win things next season or atleast compite for glory for a club who has no hope for compiting for the champions league spot. Just like Henry he left us to win titles instead he is unsettled there and he is linked to Man city and most importent he didnt win any gold this year and the story continues by covering there love for money by saying that they want to win titles and indeed they get the money but never the less win anything.
