Rodri aims to take a brutal dig at Arsenal after winning the Premier League title

Manchester City midfielder, Rodri, said that Arsenal did not have a clear idea of ​​winning the Premier League title this season.

“Arsenal also deserve them [to win the league]they had an incredible season, but I think the difference was here [pointing to his head again].

“When they came here, they faced us at the Etihad, I saw them and I said: ‘Ah, these guys, they don’t want to beat us, they just want to draw’. And that mentality, I don’t think. we will do it the same way.

“And we caught them. In the end, if you give us one point, we will win the last seven games, eight of which are very difficult. So I think it depends on the mentality.”

“[City] he took it away from us,” he said. “It’s the second season.

“There is only one way to do it – you have to be very determined, ambitious, very brave and push all the limits with everything we have. This is the next step.
