was a very good game tbf i think the arsenal performance was actually quite good all things considered. dowman and tzolis have been incredible. gyokeres has also been very good but is still making a few unnecessary mistakes. the academy kids have been incredible and o’neil deserves a big shoutout for how he’s been playing. nwaneri has been immense we need to try our best to keep him. nwaneri wasn’t an option for potm so i went for the goat

always a good day to see ethan nwaneri score and dowman + some of the academy players looked really solid out there. tzolis yet again with an assist, definitely a better signing than people thought. unfortunately i don’t think that the havertz gyokeres combination will ever work when the 2 have a combined iq of 50 in the box. overall not the worst game although we could’ve done more with the possession we had (can’t select an arsenal potm so im going with nwaneri)

Honestly, this has been the most enjoyable friendly match I've seen so far. In terms of performance, tactics, and readiness, it's more like a competitive, official match, without exaggeration. It's true that Arsenal was missing key players, and so was Dortmund, but the match was of a high standard in all aspects, and both teams were playing entertaining football. Dortmund excelled at building attacks and maintaining possession, while Arsenal threatened Dortmund's goal in every way possible, but lacked the final touch. The match continued with the same beauty and intensity as the first half. Arsenal were physically stronger in the second half and capitalized on this, trying to get back into the game, but they conceded a third goal due to a lapse in concentration. Dortmund, on the other hand, put on a great performance and put in a tremendous effort, especially in limiting Arsenal's attacking threat. Set pieces and center-backs Filippo Mané and Gadou played a major role in this. The best part of the match was seeing the brilliance of some players, such as karetsas and Inácio from Dortmund, and Tzolis, Downmann, and Nwaneri from Arsenal. Tzolis MOTM imo ⭐️🇬🇷
