Anri: "Arsenal" must now play only to win

Legendary former Arsenal player Thierry Henry is calling on the club to end their long losing streak and aim to win the competition in the 2025/26 season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Sky Sports, Henry believes the "Gunners" have a strong and quality squad capable of securing the main prize of the English Premier League. He said this following a confident victory over Athletic in the Champions League.

Currently, Arsenal's squad is very deep and competitive. There is another full-strength team on the bench.

At the same time, key players like Edyeor, Havertz, and Saka are out of the team. This indicates that the team is ready to compete in all directions.

Henry called the season a must not to lose. Now, second place is not enough.

Although this would be a good result, it is time to confirm their ambitions with a trophy. The main competition is expected to be between Liverpool and Arsenal, but Manchester City cannot be discounted either.

Of course, injuries happen, but Arsenal currently has all the opportunities to win. Henry advises the players to stop "playing not to lose."

If you want the championship, you must strive only for victory. Back then, to win the trophy, it was required to defeat Manchester United and not think about a draw.

Thierry Henry played eight seasons for Arsenal, won the Premier League twice, lifted the FA Cup three times, and is the club's all-time top scorer.
