Carragher Declares Arsenal the Best Team in Europe After Dominant Win Over Bayern
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has heaped huge praise on Arsenal, boldly naming the Gunners as the best team in Europe right now following their emphatic 3-1 Champions League victory over Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
Arsenal delivered a commanding display, with goals from Jurrien Timber, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli sealing a win that not only impressed fans but also sent a message across the continent.
Speaking on CBS Sports after the match, Carragher was full of admiration for Mikel Arteta’s men.
“Arsenal are the best team in Europe right now,” Carragher said.
“The only thing we said before the game — and we are saying it more with Arsenal because they have just beaten Bayern well — is whether they can still be the best team in Europe by May.“There is a long way to go, but no one can get near them right now.”
Arsenal will now turn their attention to a mouthwatering Premier League clash against Chelsea this weekend as they look to maintain their blistering form.
Opinion: Arsenal Are Playing Like European Kings — But Can They Sustain It?
Carragher’s statement is bold, but it’s not without substance. Arsenal’s performance against Bayern was more than just dominant — it was mature, ruthless, and tactically superior.
Arteta’s team currently looks like a well-oiled machine:
✔ A calm, confident defense
✔ A midfield that dictates tempo
✔ Wingers full of pace and creativity
✔ A collective mentality that screams champions
Right now, few teams can genuinely match Arsenal’s intensity, structure, and belief.
But Carragher’s caution is valid — being the best in November is one thing; being the best in May, when trophies are handed out, is the real challenge.
If the Gunners maintain this hunger, avoid key injuries, and continue converting dominance into results, then Europe may truly have a new powerhouse.
For now, Arsenal fans can enjoy a simple truth:
Their team is playing the best football on the continent.
