🚨 Talks between Arsenal and Myles-Lewis Skelly underway with new deal announced soon, led by Andrea Berta. ⏰ 🔜

18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly was the highest rated defender in both legs against Real Madrid 📈⭐️
Mikel Arteta on whether there’s progress with contract talks for Thomas Partey:
“Yes, there’s progress with all the players. I leave that to Andrea & the club to decide & to talk about.
“The intention is very clear.”
THOMAS PARTEY SUSPENSION BREAKDOWN*
Disciplinary Rules (Yellow/Red Cards and Suspensions)Yellow Cards: A player is suspended for one match after receiving three yellow cards in different matches (e.g., Partey’s case). These bookings do not reset until after the quarter-finals. After the quarter-finals, yellow cards are cleared, but earlier suspensions still apply.Now, here’s the kicker—
UEFA resets yellow cards after the quarter-finals, so players don’t carry them into the semis. But if you hit that three-yellow mark before the reset, like Partey did, the suspension still applies to the next match, which is Arsenal’s semi-final first leg against PSG on April 29, 2025. It’s a gut punch, but that’s how UEFA keeps things tight. So, our boy Partey’s gotta watch from the stands, and Arsenal’s midfield will feel that void. Rules are rules, even if they sting!
Arsène Wenger after Arsenal’s win:
“No matter how much life lets you down, always remember that there’s a team that lost by three goals, then promised revenge in the second leg, filmed a documentary, called themselves the Kings of Europe, asked their fans to pack the stadium, closed the roof to raise the pressure, and said ‘90 minutes at the Bernabéu is a long time’…
And in the end? They lost again, at home, and got knocked out of the tournament.
This is the truth: history doesn’t make the present, trophies don’t score goals, and the past won’t save you when you face a hungry team that fears no legends.
