How is this referee quick to give Barcola a yellow card in the first half but these Paraguay players have been out to injure France players and not even a card, that’s quite bizarre.
Apparently, that wild haircut on Edwin Quintero isn’t random, it’s tied to a South American tradition called “bautizo,” where senior players give young academy prospects an intentionally bizarre haircut to mark their first-team debut.
They did him dirty 😂 but the Arsenal-bound teenager didn’t let it faze him, scoring just minutes into his senior debut for Independiente del Valle. 🔴⚪️ #AFC
Signed for just £15 million.
He was always there when Arsenal needed him. Whether he started or came off the bench, he delivered. He believed in himself—that’s why he sometimes showed his frustration. He wanted to play more.
When he first arrived and scored, he barely celebrated. Calm. Composed. Never over the top.
But year after year, he fell in love with Arsenal. He celebrated his teammates’ goals like his own, lifted the crowd, fought for every duel, and threw himself into every tackle.
36 goals. 34 assists. 174 appearances.
Many of us will never forget that goal against West Ham. Some goals win games. Others change history. Leandro Trossard’s did both.
He came, he gave everything, he loved the club—and chose Turkey over joining another English side. He had offers, but he wouldn’t do that to Arsenal.
Nothing but respect. We’ll miss that magical left foot, that underrated right foot, and the passion he brought every single time he stepped onto the pitch.
Thank you, Leandro Trossard. ❤️

Edwin Quintero (16) scored his first professional goal on his first team debut.
What an insane goal it was. Proper superstar.
He started the move all by himself and finished it.
Him and his twin brother will join Arsenal in 2027 when they turn 17.
Make no mistake, Arsenal would not have agreed a deal with Beşiktaş for Leandro Trossard unless they were confident of securing a replacement.
The club's recruitment has become far too strategic and well-planned to sanction the departure of an important first-team player without having the next move already lined up.
We were here when E Money gifted Carter Efe and Peller brand new cars. They destroyed the cars during a live stream, went back to him, and he gave them more money, embraced them, and patted them on the shoulders for a job well done.
Then there is Alex Onyia, who has been doing remarkable work in education across the South East. He continues to identify and support some of the brightest minds, inspire millions of young people to pursue academic excellence, and consistently advocate for better welfare for teachers.
One would hope that influential people like E Money would also channel some of their support toward people like Alex Onyia, rewarding education and those who dedicate themselves to advancing it.
What we invest in today into the South East is what our region will become tomorrow. If we truly want a prosperous South East, we must prioritize education and make the pursuit of academic excellence the standard, not the exception.
🔴 RB Leipzig begin pre-season as Lisa Baum and Gina Chmielinski miss training ahead of transfers
RB Leipzig Women have officially begun preparations for the 2026/27 season, with head coach Jonas Stephan leading the team’s first training session after the summer break.
Seven new signings took part in the opening session, while several players were absent due to international duty or individual fitness programmes.
However, Lisa Baum and Gina Chmielinski were not involved, as both are set to leave the club this summer. Leipzig confirmed their impending departures, with sporting director Viola Odebrecht describing Baum as “one of the biggest talents in international football” and stating that her upcoming transfer is a positive outcome for everyone involved.
RB Leipzig’s confirmation that Lisa Baum did not return for pre-season strongly suggests her transfer is entering its final stages.
🚨Mikel Arteta has paid an emotional tribute to Santi Cazorla following the Arsenal legend's retirement from professional football.
Arteta: "It has been an honour to be your teammate. Thank you for everything you have given to football."
The Arsenal boss also sent love from the club, staff, teammates and supporters, praising Cazorla's legacy on and off the pitch.
A true Gunners icon hangs up his boots, and fans everywhere are celebrating an unforgettable career.
Even after moving on, Arsenal continue to look after those who once wore the badge.
Following his departure from Ajax, free agent Oleksandr Zinchenko has been welcomed back to the Sobha Realty Training Centre to maintain his fitness throughout the summer an opportunity previously afforded to players such as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere.
It's another reminder that at Arsenal, the connection doesn't end when a contract does. ❤️🤍
