Pep Guardiola may have handed Arsenal the ultimate compliment, but Mikel Arteta isn’t buying the hype — not yet.
After the Manchester City boss boldly crowned Arsenal as football’s top dogs, Arteta responded with a reality check that quietly shut the door on the praise.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United, the Gunners’ manager brushed off the label, insisting excellence isn’t claimed with words — it’s earned with silverware.
According to Arteta, Arsenal are improving, pushing standards, and getting plenty right — but calling them the world’s best? That’s a stretch without a trophy haul to back it up.
In short: progress is happening, confidence is growing, but until medals start stacking up, Arteta says the crown belongs elsewhere.
👑 Translation: Compliments are nice. Cups are better
