Both Manchester City and Arsenal were compelled to erase one of their social media posts, and Manchester City couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make fun of their competitors.
Arsenal finished in second place in the Premier League standings for the second year in a row, while Manchester City won their fourth Premier League title in a row.
In the days leading up to the European Championship that took place this summer, the Gunners published a statistic from their Premier League season that turned out to be absolutely incorrect.
A picture of the star forward Bukayo Saka, who scored 16 goals and registered nine assists in the Premier League, was posted on their official account on X. The caption of the picture stated that the England international was the only player in the history of the Premier League to score or assist against every team that he has faced in the division (25).
On the other hand, such assertion turned out to be false, and without delay, the post was removed.
That accomplishment had already been accomplished by Erling Haaland, a forward for Manchester City, and Harry Kane, a striker for Bayern Munich, also owns the record for the same thing from his time spent playing for Tottenham.
The opportunity to make fun of the mistake made by their competitors was too much for City to pass up, and they responded with a post of their own on social media.
A graphic of Haaland was shared on their official X account, and it was accompanied by the badges of all 22 Premier League teams that he scored goals against while he was playing at the Etihad Stadium.
On the platform, supporters of Manchester City were ecstatic by the cheeky gesture.
Lmao, commented one of the fans. Arsenal Football Club, a club that is known for its banter.”
Furthermore, another individual stated, “Bodied those liars Arsenal, they have deleted the tweet.”
Prior to the conclusion of the season, Saka emphasized his eagerness and ambition to continue developing as a football player, as well as the knowledge he has gained over the course of the past several years while working under Mikel Arteta.
According to what he shared with The Guardian, “the will to win is what keeps me going, and that is why I keep getting up.”
“In comparison to how I was four or five years ago, I am far more physically powerful now. Over the course of each tackle, I have gained more experience in determining which tackles to go for and which ones to jump in order to try to prevent a significant tackle. Therefore, I am also a lot smarter too.”
