The heated exchange began when Bernardo Silva, after Cityās narrow win, reportedly made a brutal comment about Arsenalās performance, hinting that they still have a long way to go before they can compete with Cityās dominance. Silvaās remark quickly sparked a wave of reactions from both fanbases, but the situation escalated when Arsenal legend Thierry Henry stepped in with a cutting reminder to Silva and Cityās star striker, Erling Haaland.
Henry, known for his loyalty to Arsenal and his outspoken nature, did not hold back in his retort:
š£
āArsenal has won 13 Premier League trophies
š
and we are the only club with the gold Premier League trophy. So, be humble.ā
This pointed reminder of Arsenalās rich history and their unique achievement of going unbeaten for an entire Premier League season sent social media into a frenzy. Fans from both sides flooded platforms like Twitter and Instagram, with Arsenal supporters rallying behind Henryās statement, proudly recalling the 2003-2004 āInvinciblesā season. On the other hand, Manchester City fans defended their current dominance, pointing to their recent string of titles and Haalandās impressive goal-scoring prowess.
Henryās comment added fuel to the fire of an already intense rivalry between the two clubs, and debates quickly ensued online about historical achievements versus recent success. Many Arsenal fans praised Henry for āputting Silva in his place,ā while City fans argued that current dominance speaks louder than past accolades.
As tensions simmer, itās clear that Henryās words have left a lasting mark, reminding everyone of Arsenalās golden history and reigniting the ongoing debate over who truly holds the crown in English football.
