This claim is based on the number of points Liverpool currently have this season. The Reds are crowned champions with fewer points than Arsenal had when they finished as runners-up to Manchester City in the previous two campaigns.

Last season, Arsenal finished with 89 points, coming second to Manchester City. The season before that, they had 84 points, also finishing second to City.

Arteta made this statement with a smile, acknowledging that fans may have differing opinions on the matter. He pointed out that winning a title is about being in the right moment at the right time, and Liverpool have won the title with fewer points than Arsenal had in the previous two seasons.

With 91 points, Liverpool can still win all their remaining matches, including games against Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Crystal Palace. Manager Arne Slot will face Arsenal on Sunday, and the team's focus will shift to their final matches before their trophy parade.
