“Are They Laughing Now?” – Piers Morgan Blasts Arsenal Fans for Ridiculing His Cristiano Ronaldo Idea After Losing Premier League to Manchester City

Every Arsenal fan fell to the ground as their title challenge slipped away in the last stages of the season. With the Manchester City juggernaut steamrolling past their opponents in the end, they lifted their fifth title in six seasons to complete a treble after winning their first UEFA Champions League. But, they had the opportunity to sign Cristiano Ronaldo according to the famous British journalist Piers Morgan. He explained how Arsenal could have gotten over the line if they had Ronaldo in their squad. Therefore, Morgan blasted the Arsenal soccer fans in a recent interview. 

In the interview with Talksport, Morgan explained how Arsenal could have listened to his golden words of signing the Portuguese sensational. And that could probably help them to get them over the line. With no squad depth when matched to City, the young Gunners suffered at the crucial end of things. Morgan is famous for the controversial interview that Ronaldo gave before leaving United. 

Piers Morgan blasts Arsenal fans over not signing Cristiano Ronaldo!

Morgan stated, “You know Arsenal fans laughed at me last year when I suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo would be a great signing for the rest of the season when he left United. Are they laughing now? Do we not honestly think someone like Ronaldo in that run-in, when Jesus got injured, that Ronaldo couldn’t have got in our line-up, that could have got us over the line?” 

The memorable Arsenal campaign derailed after crucial injuries, but with an average age of 25.2, the squad had no experience. Instilling Ronaldo could have been sensational, according to Morgan. 

Morgan continued, “Not just because of the goals. But because of the winning mentality. And you put someone like that into the dressing room, all the young players would gravitate to that mentality.” True words have never been spoken before when you compare the result at the end. The difference between the two clubs was Manchester City’s winning mentality.

While the winning mentality is a crucial aspect of the game, one cannot take away the goal count of CR7. 

Could Ronaldo have helped Arsenal to win the title?

The injury to Gabriel Jesus became the turning point of the season. He injured his knee at the 2022 World Cup and missed action for almost 3-4 months. But even if he returned for the latter stages of the season, the fitness issues became prevalent. But with Ronaldo, they could have had a focal point to take their game to the next level. He is one of the best forwards in the world despite being 38. 

Hence, Arsenal could have used his aerial presence and finishing ability to get them over the line. They have not won the title for a long time now, and Arsenal fans would hope to see them lift the Premier League trophy next season. Can they do it?
