Arsenal fans think a star is ‘never’ getting back in the team after one player’s stunning performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
Arsenal triumphed over PSG 2-0 at the Emirates on Tuesday, marking their first victory in this season’s Champions League. Kai Havertz scored with a header in the 20th minute, followed by Bukayo Saka’s free-kick that secured the lead.
The defense, led by Gabriel and William Saliba, maintained a clean sheet, while Jurrien Timber impressed in his role before being substituted at halftime. His performance sparked discussions among fans, with many believing Ben White may struggle to reclaim his starting position at right-back. Comments highlighted Timber’s strong impact, suggesting he is a reliable starter and a better option in one-on-one situations.
Timber had to leave the match at halftime due to a slight muscular issue. On his performance and injury, Mikel Arteta remarked, “He was unbelievable in the first half but felt something muscular. He was uncertain, and I didn’t want to take any risks. He’s been out for a year and has played more minutes than we intended recently, so we need to manage him.”
Arteta also commended summer signing Riccardo Calafiori, noting his versatility and experience in Italy. He described Calafiori as a strong defender with great energy, commitment, and a desire to influence the game in various roles.
