In a stunning twist to the Premier League title race, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has boldly claimed that his former club can still win the coveted trophy this season, despite recent setbacks against Liverpool and West Ham.
The Gunners currently sit atop the league table with four points separating them from second-placed Manchester City, who have played a game less than the North London outfit. While some pundits have written off Arsenal’s chances of winning the title, Henry remains optimistic.
In an interview with CBS SPORTS, the Frenchman urged Arsenal fans to “keep the faith” and “not become emotional” as the season enters its final stretch. He believes that the team’s composure and focus will be crucial in the remaining fixtures.
“We still have hope. It’s there in front of you,” Henry said. “We are still ahead of Man City. Keep your composure [and] don’t become emotional.”
Henry’s comments have sparked a fierce debate among football fans, with many dismissing Arsenal’s title chances as unrealistic. However, others have pointed to the team’s impressive performances this season, particularly in defense, as evidence of their potential to go all the way.
Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has also backed his team to challenge for the title, stating that they are “still in the race” despite recent setbacks. He praised the players’ resilience and character, and called on them to maintain their high standards in the remaining fixtures.
With only a few weeks left in the season, the race for the Premier League title is heating up. Arsenal will need to maintain their form and consistency if they are to hold off the likes of Manchester City, and Manchester United, who are all within striking distance of the top spot.
Whether or not Henry’s prediction comes true remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the Premier League title race has never been more exciting.
