Arteta Tells Arsenal to Turn Their Anger Into Victory Against PSG
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has urged his players to channel their frustration from Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Bournemouth into a strong response against PSG on Wednesday.
The Gunners suffered a home defeat at the Emirates as goals from Dean Huijsen and Evanilson handed Bournemouth the win, despite Declan Rice pulling one back for the North London side. Speaking after the game, Arteta didn’t hide his disappointment but called on his squad to turn their emotions into fuel for their upcoming Champions League clash in Paris.
“Losing always brings frustration,” Arteta said. “Right now, there’s a lot of anger and a sick feeling in the stomach. We have to turn that into energy and deliver a huge performance on Wednesday. Our goal is clear—win in Paris and reach the final.” Despite the setback, Arsenal remains second on the Premier League table, three points ahead of Manchester City.
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has revealed the three football icons he admires the most—Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar. In a chat with media personality Daddy Freeze, Osimhen said his respect for the trio runs so deep that he wouldn’t mind losing badly just to share the pitch with them.
“I’ve always told my friends that if I ever get to play against Messi, Ronaldo, or Neymar, I’ll take a picture with them no matter what,” he said. “Even if my team loses 10-0, I really don’t care.” The Napoli striker, who recently wrapped up a loan spell with Galatasaray, is currently on break and expected to make a decision about his future club soon.
Lionel Messi has opened up about his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, making it clear they’re not close friends, but there’s mutual respect between them. Speaking in an interview with DSsports, Messi explained that their rivalry was strictly professional—just two top players giving their all for their teams.
The pair once stood on opposite sides of football’s biggest stage, with Messi shining at Barcelona and Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Now, their careers have taken different paths—Ronaldo playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and Messi with Inter Miami in the MLS.
“Our rivalry stayed on the pitch,” Messi said. “We never took it personal. Off the field, we’re just two regular guys. We don’t hang out or talk much, but there’s always been respect.”
Lionel Messi delivered a stunning free-kick as Inter Miami fought back to secure a 2-1 win over FC Porto on Thursday. After a goalless draw in their first game against Al Ahly, Inter Miami found themselves behind early on when Samuel Aghehowa scored from the penalty spot in the 8th minute. But the MLS side responded in the second half.
Just two minutes after the restart, Telasco Segovia capped off a brilliant team move with a smooth finish to make it 1-1. Messi then stepped up with a moment of magic. Ten minutes into the second half, he curled a free-kick beautifully into the net from the edge of the box, sealing the comeback and marking his 50th goal for the club in style.
