Gala: Arsenal is obviously not the number one in London, Chelsea and Tottenham have won the championship in recent years

Arsenal former player Gala recently talked about the topic of "London No. 1 Football Club". He does not think his old club meets this title.

Gala said: "I'm sorry to say that, but Arsenal has not been the best club in London in the past few years. How many trophies have they won in the past few years? No, none, so you can't say Arsenal is the No. 1 club in London. Well, they've won the Premier League second for three consecutive seasons, but that really doesn't make any sense, they don't have a trophy!

"To be honest, if Arsenal fans say they're No. 1 club in London, Chelsea fans will laugh at them, and Tottenham fans will laugh at them. Because those two teams have trophies, the second place in the league won't give you any rewards.

"For Europa League, people would say it was a small game, and Chelsea should have won it, but it was this trophy that made Chelsea the first club in football to complete the European Cup Grand Slam. Arsenal fans dreamed of praising their team like this, but they had nothing. Spurs played a bad Premier League season, but it didn't matter because they won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League.

"But what about Arsenal? Their fans may not like me to say that, or even criticize me, but I must say: The only important thing for professional players is what trophys you have won, it's that simple. If you ask Arsenal players if they are willing to exchange results for this season with Tottenham or Chelsea, they will say no out of politeness, but trust me, those players will be jealous of the feeling of holding the trophy.

"Arsenal is not the number one club in London, it's obvious. Top clubs must have championships, and only when you do that can you say you're the best."
