  • Mikel Arteta on William Saliba’s injury: “For sure we are worried, very worried. We will have more information. Another test on him and we will see.”

  • Arteta on subs impact for Liverpool and for Arsenal: “They managed to win [against Brentford] as they made the subs, they made the impact and changed the game. In our side it was the opposite! But I’m immensely proud of my players. They were outstanding.”

  • Arteta: “Bukayo needs to take a holiday. He is obligated to go, with his girlfriend, or his family, or on his own, he can choose! He needs to get away for a few days and refresh. He can still do a lot of things with his rehabilitation. It will make him better.”

  • Could Arsenal have the edge over their rivals in the race for the Benjamin Sesko transfer? New details have emerged on the RB Leipzig striker’s situation…

  • Arteta confirms plan to bring in new players: “When you look at the bench then probably, we are very short.”

Aston Villa

Atalanta

  • Typical quality here from Ademola Lookman as he scored in a thrilling game against Napoli. FT Atalanta 2-3 Napoli [Pictures from TNT Sports]

Barcelona

  • What a pass to set up this Jules Kounde goal, though Barcelona dropped more points yet again. FT Getafe 1-1 Barcelona [Pictures from beIN Sports]

  • Alejandro Balde: “I received racist insults tonight. I also informed the referee about that, but then again in the second half… we move on. No space for racism, in life and in football. We must fight against these scenes. It’s a shame to see these things happening in 2025.”

  • Ansu Fati has been left out of Barcelona squad for the fourth game in a row. The club has definitely opened doors to letting the player go, and the decision is now with him.
