Why Arsenal may not win a title – Wenger

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in a statement gave reasons why the club may end up ending this season without a title.

Wenger warned that the Gunners’ Premier League title challenge this season could be hampered by their return to the Champions League.

Recall that Arsenal finished in second spot behind champions Manchester City last season which earned them a return to the UCL.

This season, the North London club have already amassed 10 points from their first four fixtures.

However, Wenger believes balancing Champions League football with other tournaments could cost them in the title race.

“They still have a young, talented team. I think they learned from what happened to them last year. They couldn’t cope well with that mentally; it was very difficult. I’m sure they would’ve learned from that.

“I believe as well that City, having lost De Bruyne for a long period and Gundogan, who was a very important player, even if they are a top team, I don’t disagree with that, but maybe they can take advantage of it.

“But we have to deal with the Champions League, so that costs points as well,” Wenger said on the Seaman Says podcast.
