CurrentReport Blog Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has named Manchester City as the best football team in the world following their intense 2-2 Premier League draw on Sunday. Despite the result, Arteta refused to address Leandro Trossard’s controversial red card, which saw the Gunners reduced to 10 men in the first half.
Speaking at the post-match press conference after the thrilling clash at the Etihad Stadium, Arteta praised Pep Guardiola’s side, saying, “They are probably the best in the world.”
Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and John Stones found the back of the net, while Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhães scored crucial goals to secure a point for the Gunners. However, the spotlight shifted to Leandro Trossard’s early dismissal, a decision Arteta chose not to comment on directly.
When questioned about the red card, the Arsenal boss responded, “I prefer not to comment. I was already in big trouble trying to solve what happened on the pitch. It’s that obvious that it’s not necessary to comment on it. I’m expecting 100 games to be nine vs 10 this season if that is the case.”
Trossard’s sending-off played a significant role in the match, as Arsenal had to battle for over 60 minutes with 10 men against the defending Premier League champions. Despite the setback, Arteta’s men managed to secure a hard-fought draw, leaving fans and pundits debating the red card’s impact on the game.
