🚨 JUST IN!
William Saliba, IRON MAN. 🇫🇷
The Frenchman becomes the first ever Arsenal outfield player to play every minute of a Premier League campaign. 🦾
👚🇦🇷 Lionel Messi with 5️⃣ assists and one goal tonight for Inter Miami winning 6-2 vs New York Red Bulls.
…three assists for Luis Suárez to score his first MLS hat-trick. 🫂🇺🇾
12 goals, 11 assists in 11 games for Messi since the new season started.
In 2022/23, in his final season at Arsenal, Granit Xhaka transformed his role, won back the fans and came close to lifting the first league title of his career.
Ultimately, Arsenal fell short, setting the record for the most time spent at the top of the table without winning the title in English top-flight history.
This summer, he joined Bayer Leverkusen in search of a new challenge: they had never won a Bundesliga league title; Bayern had won the last 11.
In 2023/24, Xhaka leads the entire division for the following stats:
◉ Most touches
◉ Most passes completed
◉ Most passes into the final third
◉ Most possession won middle third
And with five games to spare, having started every single match, he has just lifted the first league title of his career and the first one in Bayer Leverkusen’s history.
He even scored in the win that secured the trophy. 🏆
Arsenal have put together a 10-game unbeaten run in the Premier League to start 2024.
◉ 5-0 vs. Crystal Palace
◉ 1-2 vs. Nottingham Forest
◉ 3-1 vs. Liverpool
◉ 0-6 vs. West Ham
◉ 0-5 vs. Burnley
◉ 4-1 vs. Newcastle
◉ 0-6 vs. Sheffield United
◉ 2-1 vs. Brentford
◎ 0-0 vs. Man City
◉ 2-0 vs. Luton Town
More clean sheets than goals conceded. 🤯
🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal starting XI.
Dabid Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Bukayo Saka, Havertz, Jesus.
↪️ Saka and Gabriel Magalh��es, starting.
↪️ Gabriel Martinelli, on the bench.
Oooo I'm Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne and I've realised it's February so should start actually trying so Man City win everything until the end of the season.
Grow up.
