Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has declared Arsenal to be the best team in the world at present. Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of City’s Premier League fixture against Wolves this weekend, Guardiola openly expressed his admiration for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Despite the praise, the Spaniard acknowledged the significant challenge his team faces in bridging the gap with Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
Guardiola stated: “Right now, Arsenal are the best team in the world. Look in the Champions League, look in the Premier League, look at the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, so they are the best team right now. Hopefully, we can be close, and get better and give ourselves one chance to catch them.”
This quote from Guardiola is a significant endorsement of Arsenal’s current form and standing across multiple competitions.
Arsenal currently hold a seven-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League after 22 matches, making Guardiola’s comments a stark recognition of their dominance.
