Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has hailed Arsenal as a top-class team and the best club in Europe at the moment.
Guardiola spoke at his post-match interview after Man City’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg victory against Newcastle United on Wednesday.
Guardiola’s side will take on their Premier League rivals Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium next month.
“Hopefully, we arrive all fit in March to compete against an exceptional, top-class team,” Guardiola said.
“The first title Manchester City won was in the Carabao Cup. When you win something, it helps to win more.
“It is a pleasure to play against Arsenal, the best team right now in Europe and maybe the world.”
