Man City have placed the Premier League title in a solemn position next to the touchline, and many experts believe that they do so to put pressure on Arsenal.
Before the match between Man City and Arsenal in the 33rd round of the English Premier League 2022/23 took place, for some reason, the Premier League trophy suddenly appeared at Etihad. Accordingly, this championship trophy is placed in a solemn position next to the vertical border.
The Etihad Stadium organizers have a reason to bring the trophy to display because the match between Man City and Arsenal is considered the final of the season. The team that wins cannot be crowned, but will have a huge advantage in the championship race.

However, some football experts believe that Man City brought out the trophy to put psychological pressure on Arsenal’s players. Journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft commented: “For whatever reason the trophy is placed on the touchline, Man City probably wants to put pressure on Arsenal.” Former Tottenham player Jamie Redknapp questioned: “The Premier League trophy appeared from round 33, it’s strange.”
Man City played better than Arsenal and won 4-1. With this result, the Etihad Stadium team is currently only 2 points behind the Gunners but has played 2 matches less. Pep’s team also has the hope of winning a treble when it has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and the final of the FA Cup.
