Arsene Wenger has identified Arsenal’s goalless draw with Manchester City as the pivotal moment in the title race. The defeat to Aston Villa and City’s subsequent victory put Pep Guardiola’s side in control. Wenger believes the draw at Etihad Stadium in March will prove to be crucial and lamented Arsenal’s lack of adventure in the match.

He expressed surprise at City’s resurgence and emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities in the championship race. Now two points behind City with two games left, Arsenal’s title hopes are diminishing. However, manager Arteta remains optimistic, emphasizing the need to react, believe, and perform at a high level.

He highlighted the team’s strong first-half performance against a top opponent and stressed the importance of stepping up as leaders during challenging moments.
