EPL: ‘Very strong, hard to play against’ – Bruno Fernandes names club every team should respect

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has lauded Arsenal's remarkable feat of clinching the Premier League title for the 2025-26 season, a 22-year high point for the Gunners. The 2024-25 campaign ended with Arsenal finishing 16th, a significant improvement from their previous performance. Manchester United secured third place in the league, earning a place in the UEFA Champions League after a year-long absence.

Despite their league success, Fernandes praised Arsenal's outstanding performance, particularly their unbeaten run and their achievement of reaching the Champions League final. For the first time in 22 years, Arsenal lifted the Premier League trophy in 2004 under Arsene Wenger, a period known as the 'Invincibles'. Following a close final against Paris Saint-Germain, where they lost 1-1 after extra time in a penalty shootout, Arsenal's dedication and strength have earned the respect of the entire Premier League.
