Football fans have had their say, with varying opinions on Cristiano Ronaldo's assessment of Arsenal's Premier League ambitions.

Ronaldo, present as a VIP guest at the historic Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk bout, delivered a blunt prediction regarding the Gunners' chances.

According to Al Jazeera, the Gunners head into the final round of fixtures trailing leaders Man City by two points.

For Arsenal to realise their title dreams, Mikel Arteta's men must defeat Everton at the Emirates Stadium while hoping for a favour from West Ham, who would need to either hold City to an unlikely draw or secure a victory against them.

However, the Hammers' track record at the Etihad, with just one win and 15 defeats in 17 Premier League away matches against City, presents a daunting challenge.

Nevertheless, West Ham has shown their ability to upset the odds, defeating Arsenal at their home ground and securing a draw against Liverpool in their previous encounters.

If this trend continues, the London side could play spoiler to Pep Guardiola's aspirations.

Ahead of Sunday's Premier League run-in, Ronaldo light-heartedly aired his thoughts to Frank Warren, a devoted Arsenal supporter, at the Kingdom Arena, dashing Arsenal's title hopes, per beIN Sports.

"Just like Ronaldo can’t win the World Cup."

@0panaa_1 added:

"Same way, Portugal won’t win euros."

@Ziyechman, on the other hand, agreed with Cristiano:

"I love you, CR7. Please cook those London fr4uds."

@_TheMoroccanLad, who is a dyed-in-the-wool Ronaldo fan, said:

"My goat knows ball."
