Thierry Henry asks Bukayo Saka live on CBS if Arsenal will win the Premier League title- Thierry Henry was furious and shocked on what Bukayo Saka replied to him last night 😟😱A must read story 🔥🔥
will finally beat Manchester City for the English title this season.
Last night Arsenal claimed their first Champions League win of the season as they defeated French Champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile in the Premier League, Arsenal are currently third, one point behind leaders Liverpool and narrowly behind reigning champions Manchester City on goal difference.
And while speaking with Henry on CBS Sports after the Champions League clash on Tuesday, Arsenal captain Saka did not hesitate when asked if he believed his side could finally go all the way in the Premier League this season.
Immediately after the 2-0 home win over PSG, Saka spoke with the Arsenal legend during CBS Sports’ post match coverage.
While speaking about the Premier League title race, Henry asked: “Do you think this season is the season for the title? Do you think it is important this year to win the title?”
To which Saka confidently replied: “I don’t want to put too much pressure on us but I do think that this is the year.
“I think we’ve been close the last two years and we’re getting closer and this hopefully will be the year.”
In both the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons Arsenal finished within touching distance of their first Premier League title since 2004.
Each time they finished behind current defending champions City who have won a record-breaking four Premier League trophies in a row.
But having bolstered their team with signings like Mikel Merino, Riccardo Calafiori and Raheem Sterling, this season could be the perfect time for Arsenal to fully get over the line.
Furthermore, with City under the pressure of the ongoing investigation into their alleged 115 financial breaches of Premier League rules, it is possible that the champions could be distracted this season.
The two clubs have already faced off this season in a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium last month that saw John Stones score an injury time equaliser to share the points.
Arsenal’s pursuit of the Premier League title this season looks promising, especially after their strong start in both domestic and European competitions. Their confidence, bolstered by key signings like Mikel Merino, Riccardo Calafiori, and Raheem Sterling, adds depth and experience to their squad. Bukayo Saka’s confidence, as expressed in his interview with Thierry Henry, reflects the team’s growing belief that this could indeed be the year they finally surpass Manchester City.
Arsenal has come close in the past two seasons, finishing second to City in both campaigns. However, the reigning champions may be under increased pressure due to ongoing investigations into their alleged financial breaches. Distractions from such issues, combined with the tightly contested race this season, could work in Arsenal’s favor.
The 2-2 draw at the Etihad earlier this season indicates that Arsenal can compete with City, but they will need consistency throughout the season. With both clubs near the top of the table and Liverpool also in contention, the title race is shaping up to be highly competitive. Arsenal’s ability to maintain their momentum, avoid injuries, and stay focused will be crucial if they are to win their first Premier League title since 2004.
