Kylian Mbappe’s gracious gesture towards Lionel Messi following his historic eighth Ballon d’Or victory was a touching moment in the world of football. Messi’s claim to the prestigious award in the 2022/23 season was well-deserved, thanks to his exceptional performances with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and his crowning achievement of leading Argentina to World Cup glory, ending a 36-year drought for his nation. The Ballon d’Or was widely anticipated to be Messi’s after the World Cup triumph, although it’s important to note that the final against France in Qatar could have gone either way. Mbappe’s stunning hat-trick performance…
Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has expressed his dissatisfaction with a 26-year-old Arsenal player, suggesting that he is “horrible” and should either be benched or released in January.

This was a significant moment for Nketiah, who has faced skepticism throughout his time in the Arsenal first-team. However,…
Manchester City has reportedly set a £50 million price tag on Kalvin Phillips in anticipation of the January transfer window, despite his limited playing time. Phillips, who was acquired by the reigning champions for £42 million in 2022, could potentially bring in substantial revenue if the club were to receive such an offer. However, during his fifteen months at the club, the midfielder has only started five matches, which raises questions about his future and his spot in the England national team ahead of Euro 2024. Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, did not rule out the possibility…

Arsenal icon Patrick Vieira recently expressed his belief that Arsenal made a significant mistake when they casually let go of Emiliano Martinez for just £17 million.

Both Saka and Odegaard received their debut nominations for the prestigious Ballon d’Or award, which has been a…
QPR’s manager, Gareth Ainsworth, has been dismissed following a disappointing home defeat to Leicester City. The club confirmed Ainsworth’s departure immediately after their 2-1 loss, and the decision was not made lightly, given the high level of respect for Ainsworth and his assistant, Richard Dobson. QPR’s CEO, Lee Hoos, expressed the difficulty of parting ways with individuals held in high regard by the club and its supporters. Ainsworth had been a beloved figure at QPR, having played for the club for seven seasons between 2003 and 2010. His return as a manager in February had been met with optimism,…
Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala was full of admiration for a young Arsenal player’s performance over the weekend. This player, 20-year-old Mika Biereth, had been on loan at Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership since August. Biereth had made a promising start with Motherwell, scoring and assisting on his debut.

He came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of the game, promptly winning a penalty for his team, which he successfully converted. Additionally, he…
