“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.”
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
