That's sort of gone in a way.

I know they're level on point and it's only goal scored between them.

Do you think that might free them up a little?

To be the chaser rather than the chased?

A little bit, but I think there is the elephant in the room that you have been top pretty much all season.

And,

Ultimately, Arsenal, in terms of in the media and stuff like that, it's their fans that make it difficult for them.

Because their fans start talking about, we're going to win the quadruple.

And then, oh, no, we'll still do the triple.

Oh, we'll do the double.

And I don't think that helps.

So I think when they haven't won something for so long, they would be happy with anything.

But having led the Premier League so long, they could still win the Champions League as well, by the way.

We're forgetting that because of what's happened in recent weeks.

But...

That's going to be a key factor for me is even if those Atletico games are difficult, there's still the mindset of if you get through those and you get to a final, you know, players are still going to be, yes, we want to win the league, but there's still an element of Champions League at the end.

And yeah, whether or not it gives them the lift because everybody's fighting for their place in that starting lineup for the Champions League.

or whether you maybe protect yourself a little bit, or even Mikel Arteta has one eye on that game, that would be interesting to see come the end of the season.

How important do you think a seventh title in nine seasons will be to him as well, having been behind?

Because do you know what?
