Arsenal’s first game after the news of Arsene Wenger stepping down at the end of the season was announced sees the Gunners host West Ham at the Emirates on Sunday. The 68 year old Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for over two decades and has guided them to three league titles (including one season where they went unbeaten) and seven FA Cup titles.
Even though league and continental success has eluded Arsenal in recent times, especially with the amount of money being pumped into other teams, Wenger still remains a respected figure and Gunners players will be keen to ensure he goes out on a high. While their main focus will be on the Europa League semifinal against Atletico Madrid, a win on Sunday will open a five point cushion between the Gunners and seventh place Burnley, who had their five game winning streak broken by Chelsea on Thursday night
A bit of history was created in Barcelona’s midweek tie against Celta Vigo, with the starting XI for the Catalans not featuring a single player from their famed youth academy, La Masia.
Barcelona’s starting XI v Celta, chosen by Ernesto Valverde, was Ter Stegen, Vermaelen, Semedo, Mina, Digne, Andre Gomes, Paulinho, Denis Suarez, Dembele, Alcacer and Coutinho.
The last time Barcelona’s starting XI did not feature a single La Masia player was back in April 2002 when they beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0. Their lineup that day was Bonano, Reiziger, Christanval, Abelardo, Coco, Cocu, Rochemback, Luis Enrique, Rivaldo, Overmars and Saviola.
