Manchester City Wins
Fourth Straight Premier League Title
Manchester City midfielder Rodri has said Arsenal lacked the right mentality to win the Premier League. City secured their fourth consecutive title by beating West Ham in their final game, finishing two points ahead of Arsenal.
Despite this, City did not beat Arsenal or Liverpool in any of their matches this season.
Arsenal Not played Well at Etihad Stadium
Rodri stressed that City’s strong mentality was key to their success. He criticized Arsenal for not going all out for a win in their March match at the Etihad Stadium, which ended in a draw. Rodri saw this as a turning point in the title race.
Final Game Victory
City’s 3-1 win over West Ham, where Rodri scored the last goal, clinched their title. Rodri highlighted his team’s mental toughness as a major reason for their consistent victories under manager Pep Guardiola.
Struggles Against Rivals
Even though Rodri praised City’s mentality, it’s worth noting that they did not win any of their games against Arsenal. Neither did they win any third-placed Liverpool this season.
Focus on Mentality
When discussing City’s sustained success, Rodri told Optus Sport, “To be honest, I think it’s in here,” pointing to his head. He underscored the importance of mental resilience. He did his best to focus on maintaining their dominance in the Premier League.
