Myles Lewis-Skelly challenged his Arsenal team-mates to embrace their tag of Champions League favourites, but insists perfection does not exist despite a history-making result.
Moreover, only one English side has enjoyed a longer winning streak in European Cup/Champions League history, with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City winning 10 in a row between May 2023 and March 2024.
And, according to the Opta supercomputer, Arsenal are heavy favourites to lift the trophy at the end of the campaign, winning 28% of the simulations.
Speaking to UEFA, Lewis-Skelly said: “For me, perfection is non-existent, but we’re definitely at a very high level.
“We’re disappointed in the way we conceded both goals, obviously, but a lot of positives collectively and individually.
