Arteta resting Rice, Gabriel and Ødegaard completely against Fleetwood Town isn't risking the tie. If an Arsenal squad containing Merino, Zubimendi, Eze and Gyökeres can't control a match against 18th in League Two, our rotational depth isn't what we claimed it was. Set the standard early and finish the job

🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on the journalists who voted for Harry Kane to win the Ballon d'Or instead of Kylian Mbappé: “With all due respect to Harry Kane, he had a great season but wha Mbappé did for Real Madrid and France this past year, breaking records that have stood for decades, that is Ballon d’Or football. “Harry Kane had a fantastic year, but Mbappé was on a completely different level than everyone else including Yamal. The journalists got this completely wrong. Simple as that." #BallonDor

🚨🗣️ Mourinho calls on fans to boycott the award after Harry Kane won the Ballon d'Or ahead of Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal: “You[Journalists] cannot look me in the eye and tell me Harry Kane deserved this over Kylian Mbappé. Mbappé was head and shoulders above everyone including Yamal.” “What Mbappé delivered for Madrid left Kane and Yamal miles behind. Miles behind. But the organizers decided before the season even ended who they wanted on that stage.” “The Ballon d'Or has completely lost its credibility. It is no longer about who is the best footballer in the world; it is about political preference." #BallonDor

🚨🗣️ Harry Kane on deserving the Ballon d'Or tonight ahead of Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal: "Everyone talks about the hype around Mbappé and Lamine Yamal, but look at the actual output over the entire year. I came to Bayern Munich, took on the responsibility and carried the team through every competition alongside Olise while delivering for England. Looking at consistency, goals and carrying the weight of both club and country, I believe I've done more than enough to win the Ballon d'Or tonight."

Honestly how’s Pacho rated high above Gabriel and Saliba? What did he do at PSG that the best CB duo didn’t do more better than him at Arsenal? This Balon D’or awards is a joke since FIFA left it

Arsenal going to Anfield to face Liverpool used to feel like a nightmare but it’s more like another venue now. That’s the psychological shift Arteta has built in this squad. We aren't panicking because the quality, defensive structure and big game mentality in this team guarantee we go there for all 3 points. The fear factor is completely gone

After this Yan Diomandé performance against Barca, Jose Mourinho has zero reason to ever bench him again. He was relentless on the wing. Vinicius Jr needs to realize his era at Real Madrid is over. If Vini actually wants to win a Ballon d'Or, his only move left is joining the best club in Europe: Arsenal.

🚨🗣️ Jose Mourinho on how he outclassed Hansi Flick Barca setup: "Listen, Flick’s system works when teams are afraid of it. But when you prepare properly, you don't fear a high defensive line, you use it." "Arda Güler operates on a completely different frequency. The way he, Jude, Mbappé, and Diomandé identified the spaces to attack was a tactical lesson. Pedri and Rodri had the ball, yes, but they had zero control over the match." "And Cucurella was fantastic. He didn't play the hype surrounding Lamine Yamal—he played the match with complete tactical discipline." THE SPECIAL ONE. #ElClasico #BARRMA
