Manchester City midfield star Rodri has admitted that Arsenal are now on the same level with the reigning league champions.
Arsenal remains determined to end their two-decade wait for another league crown.
In the last two seasons, they have come close to achieving this goal, but City have emerged winners on both occasions.
Last season saw Arsenal push City to the very end, taking the title race down to the final moments of the campaign.
Although they fell short, Arsenal demonstrated they are now capable of competing at the highest level and potentially winning the league.
Rodri recognises Arsenal as a formidable rival and believes that Mikel Arteta’s team has now reached the same level as City.
‘They (Arsenal) have done great,” Rodri was quoted by the Daily Mail. “I would say they’re at the same level as us and for sure, they’re going to be there.
“They’ve shown their character and that they can fight until the end. We expect the same team – a team that can win 20 games in a row so we will have to push ourselves to our limits again if we want to win the title.”
