“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.”
Major League Soccer has handed one-game suspensions to Inter Miami stars Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba after they skipped this week’s All-Star events.
Despite being voted into the MLS All-Star Game, both players were absent from the All-Star skills challenge on Tuesday and the match against Mexico’s Liga MX select side on Wednesday. Under league rules, players who miss the All-Star match without prior approval face an automatic suspension.
As a result, Messi and Alba will sit out Inter Miami’s upcoming league clash against Cincinnati. Inter Miami’s managing owner, Jorge Mas, shared that Messi is “extremely upset” about the suspension, adding, “I don’t agree with the rule, and I’ve made that very clear to the commissioner.”
Ghana’s Black Queens head coach, Kim Lars Björkegren, believes Nigeria’s Super Falcons have what it takes to overcome hosts Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria holds a strong legacy in the tournament, having won it nine times, and they continue to dominate with some of the finest talents in African women’s football.
Björkegren, whose team fell 3-1 to the Super Falcons in a friendly ahead of the tournament, says he sees more depth in the Nigerian squad. “It should be a great match. Both sides have their strengths, but I think Nigeria has more quality overall,” he said.
Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged the Super Falcons to give their all and bring home victory as they face hosts Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. With just 90 minutes standing between them and a record-extending 10th WAFCON title, the First Lady praised the team for their performance so far and encouraged them to finish strong.
In a video message shared on the Super Falcons’ official X account, she said, “My beautiful Super Falcons, congratulations on reaching the final. Your team spirit, dedication, and professionalism have been remarkable. You’ve become shining examples for young girls across Nigeria and Africa.”
She added, “As you take the field, may God grant you victory. Go and make us proud. Nigerians, including myself, are waiting to welcome you back with the trophy in your hands.”
