Regis Le Bris says what he understood about Arsenal after watching their win vs Napoli
Arsenal take on Sunderland next in the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta’s men have had a great start to the new season, winning every single game in all competitions so far.
The defending champions will be the favourites to pick up all three points as well, and Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris appears to have been blown away by the Gunners.
Regis Le Bris says Arsenal are the best team in Europe
Arsenal won the Premier League title last season and made it to the final of the Champions League.
An argument can be made that the Gunners would’ve been European champions now if it weren’t for Cristhian Mosquera’s error against PSG.
Arsenal have not let that disappointment get to them and have had an incredible start to the new season.
They beat Manchester City in the Community Shield, Coventry, Aston Villa and Chelsea in the Premier League, and most recently, Napoli in the Champions League.
Le Bris watched that game in Naples, and he seems really impressed, so much so that he has branded Arsenal as the best team in Europe right now.
He said, as relayed on HaytersTV: “I think this season Arsenal are flying right now. They are one of the best teams in Europe. They were so impressive yesterday (against Napoli), for example.
“Five wins in a row, I think, now, so the run is really impressive.”
Le Bris added: “It’s still early in the season, but Arsenal look so strong everywhere – on the bench, every phase, sub-phases. They are just the best team in Europe, I think, at the minute.
“They have good momentum as well. It’s a good challenge, and we need these challenges to get better. I think we earned last year the possibility to go again and to embrace it and to enjoy it.”
The likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona will all dispute the claim that Arsenal are the best team in Europe right now.
However, even they will all be lying if they say the Gunners aren’t in the conversation at the moment, which would’ve seemed unimaginable just five years ago.
That is why Arteta deserves enormous credit for the way he has built this Arsenal side, and the North Londoners have every chance of going that one step further in the Champions League this season.
