The Spanish manager said the EPL title is now in Arsenal's hands. He said:
"It depends. The title is not in our hands. Before that game it was, and Arsenal's as well. But now, in our hands, no.
"We have four games in the Premier League, next is Brentford, and it will be quite similar because the competitors are good, and we will see what happens. Of course, we go into those games with belief, like we came here," per ESPN.
