Espanyol1 - 2Real Madrid
Got away w/ one didn't we? Proper smash n grab. Bellingham heads us 1-0 from Guler’s FK, then we switch off, Cala equalises and suddenly we’re all over the shop. 2nd half was the same: sloppy, no rhythm, getting bullied by a mid table side Vini was shocking tbh. Lost his head, silly yellow, 0 end product, lost every duel and even kicked off with Guler. Passenger af. Fair play to Mourinho for backing him but he needs to sort his head out sharpish Thank god for Espi. Off the bench and nicks it in the 90th
Arsenal3 - 0Coventry
Job done, nothing more. Comfortable start to the title defence, Havertz, Saka and Odegaard scored but Tzolis was THE story. Forced the 1st goal, set up Saka’s tap in and was causing chaos all game. 8 touches in the box, 4 shots, 20 sprints. Unreal. Coventry were poor af tho, no shot on target till the 86th. Arteta’s 150th PL win too
Arsenal
Lask Linz5 - 1Celtic
Absolute disasterclass. 3-0 up from the 1st leg, then McGregor makes it 4-0 agg after 21 mins, tie surely done? Nah. Nygren’s suicidal back pass starts the collapse, then Ljubicic, Adeniran and Flecker have us rattled before Adeniran kills it in ET. Even missed a pen for his hat trick just to rub it in. £20m+ down the drain, Europa League again. LASK deserved it over 2 legs tbh
Lask LinzArsenal3 - 0Man City
What a statement, tbh. Battered them from the first whistle, Calafiori scoring set the tone and city never recovered. Looked lost without Rodri, no control whatsoever. MLS got the assist too and put in a proper shift, Chelsea and United circling and he basically went “nah, I’m staying” Tzolis tho? Unreal debut. 2 assists, terrorised their right side all afternoon, £34m looks an absolute steal Only the Community Shield, obvs, but this felt different. Proper message sent and i’m genuinely buzzing for what’s coming.
