Bukayo Saka was recently asked if the Arsenal squad is becoming frustrated by seeing Man City continuously win all their matches in the final stretch of the Premier League title race.
He answered: “You can see it in two ways: You can either view it as frustrating or as a beautiful challenge. Everybody knows they (City) are one of the best teams in the world and they have been on top for five years, challenging for everything, so for ourselves to be up there competing with them is good.
“We’e pushing them the whole way, and let’s see what happens. But we are not getting frustrated - we see it as a challenge that we want to fight until the end. They have set a standard and it’s up to the rest of us to try and be better than them.
“The pain of last year has brought together and we are so hungry to go one step further this year - but also in future years, too. We are young, we are hungry, we’ve got quality and we have many more years ahead of us and we’ll have lots of experiences together. The end of last season has made us stronger, made us hungrier and the squad is a lot stronger, too.
“The new signings have had a big impact. We have been so consistent this year, not conceded many goals, only lost once in the league, so we want to continue that.”
Mikel Arteta has clearly worked hard to ensure his side does not get flustered by Man City’s results and focuses on winning all their matches to at least do their job perfectly.
The Gunners have two more games remaining in the 2023/24 Premier League campaign and will look to win both in dominant fashion and then hope that Man City drop points in any of their matches – which can allow the Gunners to clinch the title.
