BREAKING: #Saka Shines In #Arsenal Win Over Wolves At The Emirates—-Arsenal starts the 2024/25 campaign with an impressive 2-nil win at home against Wolves where Saka assisted Kai Havertz for the opener and score later in the either half to make it 2-nil.

Whether Arsenal need a new striker or if they can win the Premier League title this time around are debates with no winners.

Arguments can be made on both sides. Rightly so, they are not transparent matters.

When it comes to Bukayo Saka, the winger’s worth to his boyhood club is universally undisputed — and it is Saka who will play a significant part as to where the title lands come May.

His lofted cross, whipped with verve, assisted Kai Havertz’s headed opener. And, as the nerves started to creep around the Emirates, Saka struck one of his own after a trademark cut into the area.

Arsenal faded in patches and on another day, a Wolves equaliser would not have been unfathomable. They had their chances and should have scored.

But three points is what counts at the end, the Gunners opening their account on the right foot. The concerns around Thomas Partey giving the ball away far too many times in dangerous areas stand, though.

Arteta, understandably, received criticism for playing Saka much in the previous campaign, even when it appeared the winger was carrying an injury.

SC Freiburg Make History with Dominant Win Over Celta Vigo

SC Freiburg Make History with Dominant Win Over Celta Vigo to Reach Europa League Semis—-Freiburg booked a historic place in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals for the first time after a commanding 3-1 win over Celta Vigo, sealing a 6-1 aggregate triumph.

Julian Schuster’s side, who carried a 3-0 advantage from the first leg in Germany, finished the job in style away from home with goals from Igor Matanović and a brace by Yuito Suzuki.

Freiburg effectively ended the contest before half-time, scoring twice in quick succession. Matanović opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a powerful volley after a clever build-up involving Matthias Ginter and Jordy Makengo.

Suzuki doubled the lead six minutes later, combining neatly with Jan-Niklas Beste before finishing calmly. The Japanese midfielder added his second early in the second half, converting from close range after a flowing team move set up by Vincenzo Grifo.

Celta Vigo managed a late consolation through Williot Swedberg, but it did little to change the outcome as Freiburg cruised through.

Having already broken new ground by reaching the quarter-finals, Freiburg now advance to their first-ever European semi-final, where they will face either Real Betis or Sporting Braga.

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL

Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL

 Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL—-Ousmane Dembélé starred with a brace as Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, sealing a dominant 4-0 aggregate win to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The French forward proved decisive on the night, scoring twice to end Liverpool’s European campaign and send the defending champions into the last four for a third consecutive season.

Liverpool’s night was further marred by a serious injury to Hugo Ekitiké, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a severe leg issue, raising concerns over his availability for the remainder of the season.

Manager Arne Slot made bold selection calls, leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench initially, though the forward was introduced early following Ekitiké’s injury and nearly made an instant impact.

Despite flashes of pressure from Liverpool, PSG remained composed and dangerous on the counter. Dembélé broke the deadlock in the second half with a fine curling effort before adding a second in stoppage time from a Bradley Barcola assist.

Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were also dashed when a penalty awarded for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was overturned following a VAR review.

The defeat confirms a disappointing end to Liverpool’s European campaign, while PSG continue their title defence and will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
