Arsenal equals a century-old record. The last time they conceded a goal was in September! Bayern star will miss the game against the Gunners!

10:53pm, 7 November 2025Football

After defeating Slavia Prague, Arsenal has not conceded a goal for 776 minutes in all competitions. The last time the Gunners conceded a goal was when Walter Mader scored against Newcastle in September.

10 consecutive wins in all competitions, including 8 consecutive games with zero seals!

Very scary statistics. I can hardly remember the last time I conceded a goal... Moreover, Walter Mader's goal was also through a set kick. In other words, Arsenal has not conceded a goal in a sports match for a longer time!

I personally think that Arsenal is the best defensive team in Europe at present, and the data also proves this. It is also one of the teams with the most balanced system and the most complete configuration. However, many teams and fans have not realized this yet, and they need a championship to prove it!

According to Opta statistics, Arsenal has won 8 consecutive games and completed zero seals, tying the record of consecutive wins and zero seals by an English top league team (Preston in 1889 and Liverpool in 1920).

If they can defeat Sunderland in the next round of the league and keep a clean sheet, Arsenal will become the first English top league team in history to win 9 consecutive games and keep a clean sheet.

Historical defensive data, and Arteta actually made rotations during this period, but still maintained defensive intensity and discipline. This Arsenal can be called an iron army! In fact, this is an unprecedented performance. After all, the game more than a hundred years ago has little reference significance.

In fact, the most important thing about Arteta is not that he has brought Arsenal the ability to compete for the championship, or even the championship (if it wins the championship in the future), but that he has completely changed the background and business card label of this Arsenal, which involves the establishment of long-term style and culture.

Official: Merino was named the best player of the game!

Merino's statistics in this game: 8 successful confrontations, 5 touches of the ball in the opponent's penalty area, 3 wins of the ball, 3 fouls, 3 interceptions, 2 clearances, 2 shots, and 2 goals.

It is rare to find a forward who does not take up any shots at all, and his efficiency is so high... Although there is no statistics, I feel that Merino's efficiency as a center is currently higher than Havertz and Dzheke Rais... And he also has such comprehensive defensive data, the conversion efficiency is too high!

Merino's highlights are limited when he plays as a midfielder, but when placed in the center position, he is completely activated. Arteta's masterstroke! Not only that, Merino's fighting spirit deserves recognition, and he has a strong sense of discipline and responsibility. A foul in this game is very dangerous, but this is the embodiment of his leading defense. He does not regard himself as a point-grabbing center.

So it is no accident that Merino can enter the leadership group of the current team. Every team needs this kind of team player.

Inkapier's data against Slavia Prague: 8 successful confrontations (success rate 100%), 3 fouls, 2 tackles, 2 crosses, 1 dribble, 0 fouls.

Incapie has also become the only Arsenal player to face more than 8 ground confrontations in a single European game in the past 10 seasons and all of them succeeded.

So when Arsenal was making great progress some time ago, I said that the scary thing is that Inkapier has not even come back. When he comes back, you will know that this is another high-level defender whose positioning should not be a rotation player... This is the current situation of Arsenal. Players as strong as Inkapier, White, Mosquera, Skelly, Kepa, etc. all have to compete for playing time in the cup.

Yinka's performance in this game was outstanding and very tough. During the game, he had physical contact with the opponent's taller man, but his first reaction was to be tough. Regardless of whether he was playing at home or away, Gabe immediately joined the team! This Arsenal is not gorgeous, but it is tough, and life has become what I was most afraid of before!

Raya became the fastest goalkeeper in Arsenal's history to reach 50 clean sheets: 110 games, 50 clean sheets.

Such data is obviously an excellent goalkeeper, but objectively speaking, it is difficult to say that Raya is the number one goalkeeper in Arsenal's history. An unavoidable topic is whether he has taken advantage of Arsenal's defense or even the team's defense.

I think if you eat it, you can eat it, and it will not affect your evaluation of Raya. He did perform well and did meet Arteta's requirements. He earned it by himself!

So congratulations to Raya! The next goal is to become a championship goalkeeper, which is better than any other data!

Luis Dias was sent off in the game against Paris, and he will also miss Bayern's focus game against Arsenal.

This is obviously a good thing for the next game. Dias has performed bravely since joining Bayern, and he is familiar with Arsenal, so his absence is good for Arsenal.

But my personal point of view is that I would rather play against the strongest Bayern. One is that there will be no excuses for winning or losing. The other is that it is better to encounter a complete Bayern in the first stage of the Champions League than to meet a complete Bayern in the knockout stage. Last season's Paris is an example. Don't be eliminated by then. When they meet Bayern in the match, they are another team. With Diaz and Musiala coming back, it will be more difficult to play, and the early experience will be in vain...

In any case, playing Bayern in the next round will be a conflict of contradictions. Both sides are very strong, so let's compare and see who is stronger!

Dzekeresh was dropped from the latest Swedish national team roster due to injury.

Zhe Kai’s injury only lasts for 2 weeks. It is true that he will not be able to play in the national team competition, but he should be able to return in two weeks, which is just right, so he can take a rest. It's time for Zhekai to rest, too tired after the start of the season...

Official: Arsenal announced that Timber, Gabriel, Rice and Saka have been nominated as candidates for the team's best player in October.

I personally think that excluding Saka first, the possibility of the best among Timber, Gabe and Rice is high. I personally prefer Rice..

There really hasn’t been much transfer news recently, so I won’t talk about the gossip. The theme of this season is to enjoy victory!
