**Lisbon, Portugal** – Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has controversially claimed that Manchester City did not deserve to win the Champions League last season. Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s crucial Champions League clash against Sporting CP in Lisbon, Arteta, while discussing Arsenal’s progress, remarked that Inter Milan, who City defeated in the final, “should have won” the Champions League.

Arteta’s comments come despite Manchester City’s historic treble-winning season, which saw them claim the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League titles. While acknowledging City’s overall success, Arteta seemingly believes Inter Milan were the stronger side in the final match. This opinion is particularly noteworthy given Arsenal’s own recent defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage.

Arsenal, currently vying for a top-two finish in their Champions League group, enter Tuesday’s game against Sporting CP on a high after a resounding 6-0 domestic cup victory. A win in Lisbon would see them level on points with Sporting. The Gunners will be hoping to replicate their previous Champions League success, where they famously defeated Manchester City 4-1.
