Arsenal have been in great form in 2015, winning 17 of their 21 games in all competitions.
“In this calendar year, we have been the best team in Europe,” said the Arsenal forward.
“It is the strongest the squad has been and everyone is staying fit as well."
But is the England international correct? We've been through the statistics from Europe's leading clubs and found that although the Gunners have an identical points-per-game record to Bayern Munich, Barcelona pip both to top spot.
From the big four leagues, only Barca have
taken more points than Arsenal in 2015. However, the Catalans, Bayern
and Juventus are all in next week's Champions League semis.
Meanwhile, Walcott has admitted it is difficult to hold down a place in Wenger's team.
The England international, who has yet to sign a new contract, was on the bench again against Chelsea on Sunday and has not started a game in more than a month.
But he feels the strength in the Arsenal squad can only be positive for next term.
