The more they play, the more it seems to be Arsenal’s year. The team coached by Mikel Arteta won 3-1 at San Siro against Inter on Tuesday on Matchday 7 of the Champions League, deploying another incredible performance that underlined once again why they are currently considered the best team around.

With seven wins in seven games so far in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League, Arsenal are leading the standings and will likely end up as winners of the opening phase. After winning seven games in a row for the first time in their European history, scoring 20 goals and conceding just two, the Gunners look like the best team in the competition right now and could potentially win their first Premier League title in more than two decades as well. For that reason, it’s hard to imagine them finishing the season without lifting at least one trophy in the coming months.

In a similar vein, Cristian Chivu, the coach of Inter, acknowledged Arsenal’s excellence, noting, “Arsenal impressed me more than any other team. They always make the right play and constantly cause you problems with Saka; they always make the right decisions.”

This statement reflects the growing recognition of Arsenal’s prowess, not just within their local league, but at a continental level as well.
