Thierry Henry has reportedly claimed it would be ‘extremely difficult’ for Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season following their 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Gunners were stunned at the San Siro after Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty in the first half was enough for the Nerazzurri to claim all three points.
Arsenal midfielder, Mikel Merino was found to have handled the ball within the 18-yard box.
According to SportsBible, following the game, pundits Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, and Henry discussed Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League title on CBS Sports.
Carragher said: “I think Arsenal were better than what they have been certainly in away games that we analysed before the game in terms of the tough ones they had at the end of last season. Going to Atalanta this season, what we saw at Newcastle and other away games in the Premier League that Thierry mentioned.
“I thought it was a lot better, you can argue Inter Milan didn’t have the best team out.”
Henry added: “Inter Milan gave them the ball, they are happy to give you the ball so were they brave or Inter gave them the ball. Let’s see at the weekend.”

When asked about the upcoming match against Chelsea, Henry said: “I don’t know what we’re going to do, I’ll be honest with you, I actually don’t know how we are going to go.
The Gunners legend was then quizzed on whether Arsenal will be out of the title race if they lose against Chelsea, Henry said: “I think it will be extremely difficult because you have too many teams to catch.”
