Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has issued high praise to Arsenal, describing Mikel Arteta’s side as the strongest team in Europe at the moment. His remarks followed the Gunners’ impressive 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich in their UEFA Champions League clash on Wednesday night at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal delivered a commanding performance against the German champions, with goals from Jurrien Timber, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli securing a convincing result that further cemented their status as one of the continent’s most in-form teams. The Premier League leaders controlled large stretches of the game, outclassing Bayern Munich with their intensity, structure and clinical finishing.
Carragher, speaking during a televised interview after the match, hailed Arsenal’s current level and dominance in European football. He stated: “Arsenal are the best team in Europe right now.
“The only thing that we said before the game, and we are saying it with Bayern but we are saying it more with Arsenal because they have just beaten them well, it’s whether they can still be the best team in Europe by May.
“There is a long way to go but no one can get near them right now.”
The former defender’s comment reflects the growing sentiment that Arsenal have become a major force in the Champions League this season, combining defensive solidity with dangerous attacking options and squad depth.
Arsenal will now shift their attention to domestic duties as they prepare for a high-stakes Premier League showdown against Chelsea this weekend—a fixture that could further define their momentum in both competitions.
