No one can deny the global attraction of the game of soccer, as it produced yet another significant moment. In a recent game, a 22-year-old Brazilian starlet pulled off an upset against Erling Haaland’s Manchester City. The result excited alongside the NBA superstar Joel Embiid, who made the list with his 3-word comment.

The MVP shared his views on the outcome of the match, as it marked a potential turning point for the English club. The active involvement from the basketball star caught the eyes of everyone as club football took a halt.

What did Joel Embiid say?

In the 8th game week of the Premier League, the defending champions from Manchester faced Arsenal in an away fixture. The hype surrounding the match was at an all-time high as City ruined the title chances of the Londoners last season. The runners-up took their revenge with an 86th-minute goal from Gabriel Martinell at the Emirates Stadium. His deflected shot earned his side their victory as Embiid posted, “MASSIVE WIN!!!! GOONERS,” while celebrating.

In addition to defending their pride, the win against this opposition put them ahead of Haaland’s team on the table. Arsenal cemented their position in second place with equal points with table toppers, Tottenham Hotspur. Right ahead of the international break, this result could become a game-changer for the North London club.

Thus, Embiid had genuine reason to be excited over this outcome as they extended their rival’s losing streak. As the Gunners chase the title after the previous campaign’s heartbreak, one of their biggest supporters chose to stick with them. This made us reminisce about one thing.
