The thing is if someone asked you 2 years ago, who would score the most crucial goal in the run in when we win the league your answer would be Trossard. And he delivered as expected. Arsenal legend.
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa responds to Cristiano Ronaldo’s claim that the World Cup is just a ‘seven-game tournament’ ahead of Mexico’s clash with South Africa:
“Seven-game tournament? That’s like calling Mount Everest a short walk because it only takes one climb.
Cristiano can say whatever he wants, but the World Cup is the one stage where football stops being a sport and becomes history. Billions watch. Nations stop. Generations remember.
And let’s be honest, these comments didn’t appear from nowhere. Funny how the tournament became ‘just seven games’ after Messi lifted the trophy. Before that, every great player dreamed of touching it. After Messi won it, suddenly it’s being treated like a weekend cup competition.
The World Cup is football’s crown jewel. You don’t shrink the crown because someone else wears it.
Some trophies decorate a career; the World Cup defines eras. That’s why people still talk about Maradona, Pelé, Zidane, and now Messi through their World Cup moments.
If the World Cup is only seven games, then why do legends spend twenty years chasing those seven games?
To me, this sounds less like analysis and more like a man arguing with his own shadow. The trophy he couldn’t catch is now being measured with a smaller ruler.
Ronaldo is one of the greatest players ever. But when you call the World Cup a seven-game tournament, it feels like sour grapes served in a golden cup.”
Funny how the ‘project’ everyone laughed at is now the blueprint every club is trying to copy. Arsenal didn’t just win the league we changed the sport.
Since the night Arsenal became EPL champions, I have never been angry. I wake up smiling always with immense joy in my heart.
Thank you Mikel Arteta for changing my life.
Arsenal must be the only club in football that’s been criticised for 15 years for not being able to win ugly or deliver when it matters, and then when they actually do grind out results in a title race, they get attacked for that too. It’s a no-win narrative, and that kind of inconsistency is what’s killing the game.
