Pep Guardiola sabi football well well, and im words dey show true for im title rivals, Arsenal. Di Gunners dey close for Premier League title success, with Mikel Arteta boys hoping to end club long wait for league crown.
If Arsenal win dia last two games, dem go be champions. Dem no even need all six points, depending on how City do for dia last three matches. On Sunday, di Gunners beat West Ham after late drama wey see Leandro Trossard score winner and di Hammers score equaliser only for di goal to be ruled out on VAR review.
Di late VAR drama aside, Arsenal show say dem be champion quality. Dem don already beat Atletico Madrid for close tie to secure dia first Champions League final in 20 years, and dem find di same sort of resolve against West Ham. For ultra-tight game where West Ham dey desperate for point to aid dia survival bid, Arsenal dig deep, remain composed and find di goal dem need to keep dia title bid on track.
Dat na mark of champions, and e be why Guardiola call di Gunners one of di best teams for world earlier for spring. Im talk: “Alongside Bayern Munich and maybe Barcelona as well, [Arsenal are] di best team for Europe.” Arsenal bin dey on wobble for early spring, but Guardiola still recognise di quality of Mikel Arteta team, and we all suppose don take notice.
As di Gunners close in on title and show di depth of dia quality for tight, must-win games, we dey see just how right Guardiola bin about dis team. And wetin make am more impressive na say dis Arsenal team no get di firepower of PSG or Bayern Munich, but dem still find way to win games consistently, owing to dia possession of one of di best defensive and midfield lines for world.
Wetin dey most interesting na say Arsenal face PSG for Champions League final, and dat go be di ultimate test to find out which team be di very best for world. We go also get glimpse of how Arteta stack up against PSG boss Luis Enrique, wey be one of di best managers for world, given im success with di Parisiens and previously at Barcelona.
