Maya Jama joins Ruben Dias's Manchester City team-mates in mocking his 'geography teacher' outfit

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Ruben Dias has been torched for his latest outfit by his Manchester City team-mates and girlfriend Maya Jama - despite dressing smartly.
The defender was mocked for his sartorial selection as he arrived for Portugal duty, being compared to a 'geography teacher' in a post that left his pals in stitches.
Dias had seemingly done little wrong, turning up dressed neatly in a light green checkered long-sleeve shirt, dark brown trousers, and polished black shoes.
On Sunday he was revealed as the summer cover star for the quarterly luxury magazine Sports World, giving credence to his stylistic reputation.
But none of that mattered to his tribe of team-mates, who, for whatever reason, tore apart Dias in the comments of his latest Instagram post.
'If I speak I'm in big trouble,' said Bernardo Silva, quoting Jose Mourinho.
Bernardo Silva led the way with the comments, quoting Jose Mourinho in his mockery
'Honestly,' added Matheus Nunes alongside a sneezing emoji.
One fan commented: 'When you have a geography class to teach but also training at 4.'
And that was enough to reel in Love Island presenter Jama, who added her own sprinkling of ridicule with three laughing emojis.
However, other people were more generous, with one on X saying: 'This is a generational fit.'
Another said: 'Am I being daft, not entirely sure what's wrong with the outfit?'
'The outfit was so good tho,' wrote another.
If there was any doubt at all about their union, Jama put it to bed last week as she shared a photo of her and Dias soaking up the sun on a boat during a romantic getaway in Italy.
The presenter, 30, and the footballer, 28, are thought to have been secretly dating for several months, after they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November.
Their romance was finally confirmed after they were seen showing affection at KSI 's Baller League event in April.
The presenter has been seen at multiple football games over the last few months to watch Dias live in action for Man City.
Footage of the pair last month showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck, with Ruben flying under the radar in casual clothes and a cap.
It is the first time they have been seen in public since they were thought to have started dating - though Maya has often hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she has been sent.
Their appearance at the Baller League came just one day after she supported Ruben at Wembley on Sunday as his team Manchester City triumphed 2-0 against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals.
During the last international break in March, Maya flew to Lisbon to watch him play for the Portuguese national team.
She was pictured in the stands at the José Alvalade Stadium to witness Portugal's 5-2 victory over Denmark in the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final.
The presenter was seen with a friend and glasses of wine in a VIP hospitality box - usually reserved for friends and family of players.
Maya then posted a picture on social media of the two celebrating together at their romantic fireside retreat at 3:30am the following morning.
The snap is believed to have been taken at the footballer's home in the Cascais region of Portugal, with a vast swimming pool and fire pit glimpsed in the picture.
They reportedly started dating in December, having met at the EMAs in November, which took place in Manchester.
Rumours of the couple's romance only intensified in the days following Valentine's Day after Jama shared the bouquet of roses she received on her return to the UK from Cape Town following the conclusion of the 2025 Love Island All Star season.
The pair were then spotted wearing matching Cartier 'LOVE' bracelets, which were listed at £5,050 on the store's website.
Jama was seen wearing the pricey gift in the Instagram post before Dias was spotted wearing the same item as he arrived for training ahead of City's Champions League play-off second leg against Real Madrid in February.
They have kept tight-lipped on the dating rumours - but in March, Gary Lineker seemingly confirmed their relationship by referencing the defender as Maya's 'boyfriend' to her face.
After the incident, Maya did not deny Gary's claim and only labelled the Match of the Day presenter 'weird'.
Maya appeared to be upset after the former England player put her on the spot and prompted further speculation.

‘It's a never-ending holiday!' 17 expert tips to make the most of summer

Whatever the weather, June marks the start of what we consider summer in the northern hemisphere, and many of us are seized with a frenetic desire to make the most of it. We want our homes to be light, airy and inviting and our outside spaces full of colour and scent – but if you're anything like me, that stuff doesn't necessarily come naturally. Instead, I'm chasing bluebottles, sweating into my sofa and staring enviously over the neighbours' wall at their impeccable garden. But in summertime the living really can be easy: I asked home and garden experts for their favourite simple ways to welcome the season. Sensory tweaks that instantly conjure summer are 'so fricking cool', says colour psychologist Tash Bradley, design director of Lick. A gentle hum of jazz in the background, a summery candle burning (basil or tomato leaf scents are instantly evocative), or, best of all, real greenery. You don't need a garden to raid: 'When you're next on a walk, pick foliage or bring branches in – the trees are so luscious – and put them in vases around the house,' Bradley says. (Garden designer Sean Pritchard's book Outside In is full of ravishing inspiration for this.) 'Embrace the spirit of a never-ending holiday by prepping your space for spontaneous gatherings,' says Rebecca Lowrey Boyd, design writer and author of the Wee Birdy newsletter. 'Keep a ready-to-go drinks tray or a basket of picnic essentials on standby, so you're always five minutes from hosting a garden soiree, or at least pretending you are. If you're feeling fancy, throw in a sprig of mint and a set of cocktail napkins.' (Lowrey Boyd likes a 'natty embroidered' Anthropologie set; I've found good ones on eBay.) 'With a few honourable exceptions, once May is out of the way it begins to get a bit late for planting, and certainly for sowing things that will bulk up and present an impressively romantic spectacle for the summer months,' says Andrew Timothy O'Brien, garden writer and host of the Gardens, Weeds & Words podcast. 'That said, some seeds sown in early June will get going remarkably quickly. On the veg front there's French and runner beans, courgettes and pumpkins, lettuce, pak choi, sweetcorn and carrots. Ornamentals that you sow now will extend the season by flowering in later summer and into autumn: try nasturtiums, sunflowers or night-scented stocks. To avoid disappointment, make sure you're using freshly bought seed, not something from a packet you've had sitting in the shed since lockdown.' 'I like things that maybe don't quite go together,' says Allan Jenkins, former Observer gardening columnist and author of Plot 29. 'Happy accidents are more interesting than regimented rows.' This time of year in the garden – or, in Jenkins's case, on the allotment – is for spontaneity and serendipity. 'From May onwards I will have beans, maybe peas. Sunflower seeds might find a home.' In her new book, Dopamine Decor, interior stylist and colour evangelist Kate Morgan recommends taking inspiration from holidays: the places you enjoy spending time in – cafes and bars, hotels, tavernas – and the treats you eat. Morgan is a big fan of fruit motifs. 'When I think of a good holiday, I think of warm places, blue skies and lovely bowls of pineapples, coconuts, mangoes, watermelons, lemons and limes – and a fruity cocktail or two! Delicious zingy flavours and bright colours.' Her home is full of fruity touches, from a blueberry milk jug to a cherry toilet brush. 'A summer simmer pot is simple, quick and cost-effective,' says Lesley Bramwell, sustainable fragrance entrepreneur and author of Fragrance Your Home. 'Add sprigs of summer plants – mint or eucalyptus – a handful of fresh rose petals or lavender buds and a few slices of lemon or orange to a large pan. Cover with water, filling the pot to around two-thirds full. Bring to the boil and then gently simmer. Add a few spices to bring warmth, like fresh ginger or cloves. As the pot simmers away, the steam will gently release summery aromas.' Change your fabrics for lighter, breezier versions. 'As a nation we are not particularly good at seasonal changes but, done well, they can feel like a full redecoration,' says design writer Kate Watson-Smyth, author of multiple books and award-winning interiors blog Mad about the House, and co-host of the The Great Indoors podcast. 'I once met a Danish fashion designer who was baffled by our reluctance to swap things in and out during the year: 'You change your clothes with the seasons, why not your cushions?'' No need to stop at cushions: Morgan recommends swapping 'duvet covers, tablecloths, shower curtains, blankets, rugs and towels' for lighter, brighter summery patterns. 'Make like the Danes and change heavy thermal curtains for linen panels,' suggests Watson-Smyth. Lowrey Boyd agrees: 'Your home will feel airier, brighter and, dare I say, almost continental. Less Victorian parlour, more Mediterranean hideaway.' She has her eye on Ikea's crushed linen curtains for an affordable switch-up. Watson-Smyth gives her coffee table a seasonal facelift. In winter it holds large coffee-table books, dark candles with heavier scents and decorative boxes of matches. 'In summer the books return to the shelves, to be replaced with magazines, bud vases and perhaps a reed diffuser in a pretty glass bottle. Anything that refreshes the room will lift the mood.' 'At this time of year,' says Bradley, 'the best room in the house is the garden.' To connect indoors and out, she suggests repainting a door leading to outside space, or a window overlooking it, in a nature-inspired green or blue. 'It's a really quick win to zhoosh up a room, make it a focal point and draw the eye out into the garden.' Your plants are probably happier in summer, but they still need TLC. 'As the light, temperature and length of the days increase, keeping up with watering is vital so our houseplants don't wilt,' says Sarah Gerrard-Jones, author of The Plant Rescuer: The Book Your Houseplants Want You to Read. 'Plants that may have only needed water every few weeks during winter might now need to be watered more frequently. The easiest way to know is to check the soil for moisture by sticking your finger deep into the pot, or weighing it in your hands. A pot that feels light indicates it's time to water.' Feed plants once a month through the summer growing season. It's also a good time, Gerrard-Jones says, to check which need repotting. 'A clear sign that a bigger pot is needed is roots growing out of the holes in the bottom, or the soil drying out quickly, which suggests there is little potting compost left.' Check for pests, too: 'It's far easier to get rid of one or two before it becomes a full-blown infestation.' 'Fill planters near the back door or window boxes with fresh mint, parsley, chives and rosemary plants,' says O'Brien. 'That way they'll always be on hand to snip for the kitchen, or to wrench off a sprig and stick it straight into a cocktail.' You don't need to make a special garden centre trip – supermarket pots will do. I follow botanist James Wong's advice to keep my supermarket basil alive: split up and thin out the dense tangle of seedlings, keep a few clumps of healthier ones and pot them up in good-quality compost. Tackling garden weeds can feel like a losing battle at this time of year, so how about not bothering? Gardener and landscape designer Jack Wallington specialises in working with, rather than against nature. His newsletter Wild Way is full of prompts and tips to reframe how we think about garden 'pests' and 'weeds'. 'Wildflowers – plants like cow parsley, teasel, tufted vetch, yarrow, Welsh poppy, dandelions, hedge woundwort, ox eye daisies and lawn daisies – often flower longer and are more resilient to extremes in weather than many ornamental plants,' he says. 'If you allow them, these wild plants multiply prolifically and then manage themselves, reducing maintenance; no need to grow from seed or water these sustainable plants.' They also encourage and support other wildlife: 'Many insects evolved to rely on them, and without that rich biodiversity many gardens feel lifeless to me,' Wallington says. Plus, they look great. 'Wildflowers we're told to rip out actually create the most contemporary and chic style. Best yet, of course, they're free.' 'It might sound bonkers,' says O'Brien, 'but consider creating a weedy planter.' Weeds flourish when everything else is struggling. 'These plants are what our soil wants to grow, and sometimes it can make sense to listen to what the garden is trying to tell us. Many weeds are attractive or sculptural. Think of the charming, daisy-like white and pink Mexican fleabane (erigeron karvinskianus); or Lady's mantle (alchemilla mollis) with its chartreuse flowers and pale green leaves, which show off raindrops to such wonderful effect. Elevate your weeds by collecting a selection and sticking them in a pot or a trough, and placing it somewhere where you can regularly take a good long look at them.' There's nothing summer chic about the big fat flies thumping into my windows while a billion tiny ones host some kind of rave on my bananas. 'We don't want to be destroying insects; they're essential for pollination,' says Bake Off legend and eco pioneer Nancy Birtwhistle, author of Clean and Green and the cookbook Nancy's Green and Easy Kitchen. Instead, 'it's about repelling them'. Her strategy: halve a lemon and stud each half with cloves (or juice the lemon and fill the hulls with cloves) then place it in your kitchen or fruit bowl or by your houseplants. 'Insects hate the smell of cloves. If they get a whiff, they're off.' If you're facing invasion from an ant army, Birtwhistle recommends squirting her homemade cleaning spray (160ml water, 60ml vinegar and 40ml surgical spirit) along their pathways. 'Now summer's here, you may not be thinking about your woollen jumpers, but clothes moths very much are,' says Birtwhistle. 'Protect your jumpers by putting them in sealed bags or boxes and by using a natural deterrent. Lavender is a great moth repellent and it's in season now, so collect a few sprigs.' 'Give your dining table (or the rickety one in the garden) a summer makeover with a bold, stripy tablecloth or some clashing printed napkins,' says Lowrey Boyd. No need for a splurge – grab a length of cheerful fabric or even a retro-inspired tea towel.' Add vibrant napkins (Lowrey Boyd fancies some 'jolly ricrac numbers from RE') and mismatched coloured candles. 'Suddenly, every meal feels like a sun-drenched picnic, even if it's beans on toast.' 'Just as summer really starts to get going and the weather is good for relaxing and entertaining in the garden, growth rates slow down and everything begins to look a little thirsty,' says O'Brien. 'The temptation is to dash out and buy things to make the garden look good: replace the patio set, buy a shiny new barbecue and pick up some plants. The problem is, this kind of panic buying rarely hits the spot, and anything you plant now is going to need endless watering and attention to prevent it from looking knackered and carking it within a week of bringing it home.' The secret to happy summer gardening, he says, is doing less (it's the guiding philosophy of O'Brien's book, To Stand and Stare: How to Garden While Doing Next to Nothing). 'Learn to love what you've already got. Lawn looking a bit parched? Let it grow rangy and a bit straggly. Get to know the wildflowers that you'd otherwise spend precious hours decapitating, while bees and butterflies make the most of the nectar resource. You can restore order in autumn; summer is mainly for dossing about.' Amen to that.

Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Gunners release SEVENTEEN players, Sane talks, Sesko bid imminent, Zubimendi ‘move in doubt'

ARSENAL are looking ahead to a busy summer transfer window after another trophyless season. The Gunners have opened talks with the camp of Leroy Sane over a potential switch, with the German winger available on a free transfer this summer. Elsewhere, Arteta and Co are closing in on a new striker, with a big for main target Benjamin Sesko 'imminent,' according to reports. In other news, Arsenal 's move for Martin Zubimendi is said to be in doubt. 21st Apr 2025, 08:00 By Aiya Zhussupova A well-earned rest Arsenal will have a six-day break before their Champions League semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain – thanks to Crystal Palace. The Eagles were due to face Arsenal next Saturday on April 26, but the south east Londoners instead have an FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa. Instead, Arsenal will welcome Palace to the Emirates on Wednesday April 23 before hosting PSG on Tuesday April 29. An extra few days of rest and recovery at London Colney will be a blessing for Arteta, and may just give Arsenal the edge. 21st Apr 2025, 06:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Partey's departure Arteta has hinted he would like midfielder Thomas Partey to be handed a new deal. Partey, 31, is out of contract this summer but is having his best season since joining the club five years ago. Arteta said that progress is being made with a number of players and his intent with Partey is clear — though the decision will sit with Berta. The Spaniard said: 'Yes, there is progress with all the players. I'll leave that to Andrea and the club to decide and to talk about. "The intention is very clear. I'll leave that to Andrea and the club to take a step forward." Partey's form this season has been largely down to his availability, having desperately struggled with injuries across his time in north London. Arsenal will consider his age and fitness record before making a final decision on a new deal. 21st Apr 2025, 02:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Gunners to cash in on midfielder Arsenal are reportedly looking to sell Fabio Vieira in the summer. The midfielder is currently on loan with Portuguese giants FC Porto having been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Mikel Arteta. And according to A Bola, the Gunners aren't keen on sending the 24-year-old back out on loan next summer. It's claimed the Gunners brass want to recoup the £30million they spent on Vieira in the summer of 2022. 20th Apr 2025, 00:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Crown Jule Jules Kounde has reportedly emerged as a summer target for Arsenal. The Barcelona and France star has impressed at right-back for the La Liga giants this campaign. And according to Fichajes, Arsenal are ready to fork out £65million to acquire his services. 20th Apr 2025, 22:00 By Gyokeres warning Reported Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres could struggle in the Premier League, according to former Gunner William Gallas. The Frenchman said: "It could be completely different for him in the Premier League, it will be a big change. "Can Gyokeres adapt to the Premier League? That is the question. He is 26 years old, I don't know if he can be one of the best strikers in Europe. If he comes to Arsenal, it will be another level of pressure for him. "It happens a lot when a player is doing really well at a smaller club, then they crumble at a bigger club. "Gyokeres will have a level of responsibility he has never had in his career if he were to join Arsenal." 20th Apr 2025, 21:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Saliba exit claim Arsenal are reportedly willing to let William Saliba join Real Madrid and the two clubs reached an 'agreement'. According to reports, Arsenal made a 'verbal commitment' to notify the Santiago Bernabéu stadium first if they decide to put the French player for sale. Los Blancos are understood to be admirers of the France international and willing to test the Gunners' resolve to retain his services this summer. And according to sensational reports, the north Londoners would be open to letting Saliba leave if they received two stars in return. The two stars, according to Dafensa Central, are starlets Arda Guler and Endrick. 20th Apr 2025, 20:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Kiwior dilemma Jakub Kiwior has been linked with moves away. AC Milan and Napoli have taken an interest with Kiwior said to be keen on a return to Italy for regular first-team action as he looks to keep his starting spot for Poland. Arteta seemingly saw him as one to let go to raise transfer funds. But his performances against Madrid may leave Arteta with a dilemma. His calmness of approach to keep the likes of Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe quiet was just as eye-catching as Declan Rice's thunderbolt free-kicks and Bukayo Saka's return from injury. Arteta may still deem the 25-year-old surplus to requirements, in which case they could make a decent profit on a player who has certainly raised his game in recent weeks. 20th Apr 2025, 19:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Gunners buzzing for Collins Brentford's Nathan Collins is reportedly on Arsenal's summer wishlist. The Bees defender has enjoyed a strong season in the Prem and leads the league in blocks. Bleacher Report claim Arenal have been "hugely impressed" by the centre-back. 20th Apr 2025, 18:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Gor blimey Anthony Gordon has emerged as a shock summer target for Arsenal. But Newcastle have indicated they will only let the winger go for "big, big money." According to Football Insider, Toon bosses are desperate to keep Gordon and will only let him leave for a huge fee. 20th Apr 2025, 17:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Sesko price rockets RB Leipzig have reportedly slapped a new price tag on Benjamin Sesko - as interest hots up on the Slovenian. The striker is on the radar of several clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United. But both sides will have to pay a premium to secure the striker's services. According to Bild, Leipzig have slapped a hefty £86million price tag on the 21-year-old's head. 20th Apr 2025, 16:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Kingsley Coman approach Bayern Munich are ready to listen to offers for Kingsley Coman ahead of the summer transfer window. Coman has been in and out of Vincent Kompany's Bayern team this season. Arsenal are said to already held talks with the winger, according to reports in Germany. The France international could be tempted to take a cut on his £275,000-a-week wages if he moves to the Premier League. 20th Apr 2025, 15:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Andrea Berta 'closing in' on first signing Arsenal are confident of snapping up Martin Zubimendi in the next few months. That's according to talkSPORT, who claim the north Londoners are increasingly confident of signing the Real Sociedad and Spain midfielder in early June. Should they snap up Zubimendi, the Euro 2024 winner will be Andrea Berta's first signing since replacing Edu as the Gunners' sporting director. But Berta could be dealt a major blow as Spanish outlets report that Zubimendi wants to sign with Real Madrid. According to Fichajes, the La Liga giants promised Zubimendi a prominent role in their "sports plan" 20th Apr 2025, 14:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Arteta's hopes crushed Arsenal's hopes of signing Nico Williams have been dealt a major blow. Nico seems reluctant to leave his current club, sharing his ambitions to play Champions League football with Athletic Bilbao next season. He told told AS: 'Every kid wants to play at Old Trafford. "We have the goal of winning the Europa League and, next year, to crush the Champions League. Little by little." 20th Apr 2025, 13:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Nico's wage Spanish sources have told the SunSport that Nico Williams could demand an eye-watering wage of around £250k-a-week. That would put the Spaniard up there with Arsenal's highest earners if the Gunners secure the deal to sign with the winger. And remember, their financial report of 2023/24 showed that they have already increased their wage payments by nearly £100m from £234.8m to £327.8m. It will be an expensive season for Arsenal as they plan a "big" summer spending spree. 20th Apr 2025, 12:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Nic of time Barcelona are reportedly dropping their interest in Nico Williams. According to Marca, the Catalans are no longer interested in signing the Athletic Bilbao forward. Arsenal have made the Spanish winger one of their No1 targets for the summer. Andrea Berta reportedly already met with the winger's representatives to discuss the deal. However, the Gunners are still facing competition from Chelsea and Bayern Munich who are also interested. 20th Apr 2025, 11:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Gyokeres' response to Arsenal transfer links Viktor Gyokeres brushed away a cheeky question about a potential move to Arsenal this summer amid swirling rumours over his future. The Sporting Lisbon striker has been linked with a switch to the Gunners as well as a host of other top clubs given his flying form in Portugal. Gyokeres, 26, is one of the most in-demand strikers in the world after already scoring 47 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions this season. But when probed by Portuguese media on a switch to the Emirates, Gyokeres remained tight-lipped on his future. Asked if he liked London, he simply replied: "I like Lisbon". 20th Apr 2025, 10:00 By Nyle Smith Current Premier League table Arsenal will be hoping to close the gap on Liverpool down to 10 points but they'll be more importantly hoping to stretch the gap between themselves and the teams below. While relegation-fighting Ipswich are trying to close the gap on 17th-place Wolves. 20th Apr 2025, 09:00 By Aiya Zhussupova Arsenal vs Ipswich After their Madrid heroics in midweek, Arsenal's attention returns to Premier League duty with a trip to Ipswich today. Ipswich themselves will have relegation confirmed in the next couple of weeks. SunSport have enlisted the help of their betting experts to preview the fixture and select the best bets, tips and exclusive sign-up bonuses from our leading betting partners. 20th Apr 2025, 07:45 By Aiya Zhussupova Arteta's master plan Mikel Arteta has told his new transfer chief Arsenal MUST spend big to fight on all fronts next season. The Gunners' title bid could be over if they lose to Ipswich today — four days after reaching the Champions League semi-final with a stunning win over Real Madrid. He said: "Squad quality and availability — without those, we cannot compete in four competitions. "At this level, especially in this country, it is impossible. The higher the quality, the higher the availability, the more chances you have. "After you have to do it. But the probability goes high. "I hope that Andrea has many more ideas, plans, surprises, positive ones. "And his experience, his creativity, his intuition as well to help us make the right calls." 20th Apr 2025, 05:45 By Aiya Zhussupova Gyökeres's fee Arsenal are eyeing up a move for the prolific Swede who has hit a fifth hat-trick of the season in a 3-1 victory over Moreirense. Gyökeres's contract with Sporting CP includes a £85 million release clause. However, reports suggest that Sporting may be willing to negotiate a transfer fee in the range of £55–70 million. Arsenal is Gyokeres's main suitor but Manchester United and Chelsea have also shown interest. When questioned about his future, Gyokeres remained tight-lipped. He said: "No one can predict what will happen, we enjoy the moment." 20th Apr 2025, 03:45 By Aiya Zhussupova Real swap Arsenal are reportedly willing to let William Saliba join Real Madrid in a blockbuster swap deal. Los Blancos are willing to test the Gunners' resolve to retain his services this summer. And according to sensational reports in Spain, the north Londoners would be open to letting Saliba leave if they received two stars in return. The two Madrid players on Arsenal's radar, according to Dafensa Central, are Arda Guler and Endrick. By Aiya Zhussupova Real chase Arsenal are reportedly leading the race for Betis star Jesus Rodriguez. The Brazilian is also a target for Liverpool after his strong season in LaLiga. CaughtOffside claim Arsenal scouts have been taken with the winger and are currently first in the queue. 19th Apr 2025, 23:45 By Aiya Zhussupova Arsenal files SunSport have all the very latest from the Emirates over the Easter weekend. Jakob Kiwior has given Mikel Arteta a selection headache after his performances against Real Madrid. While we have the very latest on Andrea Berta's transfer dealings as he plans a big summer in North London. 19th Apr 2025, 22:45 By Aiya Zhussupova A well-earned rest Arsenal will have a six-day break before their Champions League semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain – thanks to Crystal Palace. The Eagles were due to face Arsenal next Saturday on April 26, but the south east Londoners instead have an FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa. Instead, Arsenal will welcome Palace to the Emirates on Wednesday April 23 before hosting PSG on Tuesday April 29. An extra few days of rest and recovery at London Colney will be a blessing for Arteta, and may just give Arsenal the edge.
