“Arsenal Have Been Through a Lot” – Neville Says as He Backs Them for Title
Gary Neville, the former Manchester United captain, is still backing Arsenal to clinch the Premier League title this season, despite their mixed form so far.
Before the 2024/2025 season began, Neville had predicted that Arsenal, under manager Mikel Arteta, would end their long wait for the coveted trophy, which has eluded them for over 20 years.
However, the Gunners have faced some challenges in the first half of the campaign, currently sitting in third place, nine points behind Liverpool.
Despite Liverpool’s dominance so far, Neville remains convinced that Arsenal can still emerge as champions.
He acknowledged Liverpool’s strong position but pointed out that there’s still a long way to go in the season.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Neville said, “Sometimes the path to success isn’t straightforward.
Liverpool are the favorites right now, and they’re in fantastic form, but Arsenal have been through a lot in recent years.
They’ve often pushed until the very end, and when you win for the first time, it doesn’t always happen as expected.
There’s always room for surprises, and Arsenal have shown resilience.”
Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli has revealed why captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed their Saudi Pro League match against Al-Taawoun on Friday. Ronaldo was sidelined due to a cold as Al-Nassr settled for a 1-1 draw at home. Otávio and R. Martínez scored to earn a point for both teams at Al-Awwal Park.
After the game, Pioli explained that Ronaldo’s absence was health-related. Al-Nassr currently sit fourth in the league with 64 points from 32 matches, having already missed out on the title after Al-Ittihad were crowned champions. Their next fixture is against Al-Khaleej on Wednesday.
Atalanta’s star winger Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the Serie A Player of the Month award for May. He’s up against five other top players including Riccardo Orsoloni from Bologna, Juventus’ Khenphren Thuram, Napoli’s Scott McTominay, AS Roma’s Manu Kone, and AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez.
Lookman broke his six-game scoring drought by finding the net in Atalanta’s 2-1 victory over AS Roma on Monday. This season, the 27-year-old has made a huge impact with 15 goals and five assists in 30 league games.
Ademola Lookman has once again earned a spot in the Serie A Team of the Season, marking his second time in a row making the prestigious list. The 27-year-old was a key figure for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta side throughout the 2024/25 season, putting in several standout performances.
He racked up an impressive 20 goal contributions, netting 15 goals and providing five assists in 30 league matches. His teammate, Mateo Retegui, also made the cut. With transfer talks heating up, the exciting winger is expected to part ways with Atalanta when the season wraps up.
