Such a disappointing pic from DAZN Football. The DR Congo national football team's nickname is Les Léopards (The Leopards). Instead, the animals they opt for in the background are... gorillas.

🚨 William Saliba has opened up about the loss of his mother in 2019, shortly after joining Arsenal. 💔 🗣️ Saliba: "I had cost €30M and found myself playing with the U23s. It was difficult. My morale was really low because I knew that even if I trained well, I wasn't going to play. "With the loss of my mother, nothing was going right. Everything was hard. She was everything to me and, thankfully, I had great people around me. It was the worst year of my life." Atef Konaté, a close friend of Saliba, added: 🗣️ Atef Konaté: "William never went to the coach to tell him that he had lost the most important person in his life. "Partly because he didn't speak English very well at the time, but mainly because he kept telling me: 'If I have to play, it won't be out of pity.'" An incredibly difficult period in his life. ❤️🇫🇷 (Source: L'Équipe)

@rebekkarnold Should he be happy/pleased over his exclusion?

@Ali_M_Qamar I literally said I watched the whole episode lol and he was sore.

I watched this episode and while I think it wouldn’t have been crazy to include him in the squad, his reaction weeks later is quite silly, they were saying it was weird to speak to them over FaceTime but I actually think it’s the right way to address it.

@ReidTheGame I don't think Tuchel omitted Maguire cuz he knew he would publicly reveal details about their FaceTime.

I thought he should have been called up. Everything that’s happened since, though, has shown why he wasn’t

I always find the R. Madrid example funny. Their last UCL title was in 2024 (not 2004). When they won it in 2024, it was because of their superstars and NOT the tactics (or so they alleged). Now they're not winning due to those superstars. The conclusion was already set in stone.

People who say this are not saying anything prophetic. They're just describing most top-level teams. What separates the 1 percent who actually win things from the rest are those superstars. There's a reason why teams that win titles generally have the best players in that comp.

Yeah, like we won back to back the seasons he was fit. 👍
