Amad Diallo has utilized social media to ridicule Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes, seemingly unaware that the quotes he shared are fabricated. On Sunday, Arsenal lost two crucial points in their pursuit of the Premier League title, as Declan Rice’s goal in the second half equalized a brilliant free-kick from Bruno Fernandes. With only ten matches left in their 2024/25 season, the Gunners find themselves 15 points adrift of the dominant Liverpool, who further solidified their position at the top with a 3-1 victory over last-placed Southampton.
It was a day to forget for the North London side, and during his post-match interview, a visibly frustrated Mikel Arteta abruptly left his discussion with reporter Patrick Davison, declining to respond to a question regarding the title race.He later gave the following response when asked about their chances. “I don’t want to say that but today the frustration is that we have not won our game, we are obligated to win every match but it’s not the right moment to talk about that.”
Following the conclusion of the match, Manchester United forward Amad Diallo took to social media to address a fabricated quote that had been circulating on X, previously known as Twitter, prior to the match’s commencement.
Amad responded to a meme posted by Troll Football, which depicted Gabriel Magalhaes being queried: “Are you particularly fearful of any United attackers you may encounter on Sunday?” The misleading quotes suggested that Gabriel replied, “I’m pretty sure I have scored more than all of them.” It is important to note that the Brazilian defender has never made such a statement, although it may appear credible since he has indeed scored more goals in the Premier League this season than Rasmus Hojlund.
In his response, Amad shared a GIF of Joshua Zirkzee from January 12, when he waved to Arsenal fans after successfully converting the winning penalty in their FA Cup fourth-round match. Additionally, he included the caption: “Ahahah.”
Last month, Amad expressed his profound disappointment through an emotional statement on social media following an ankle ligament injury sustained during training. The 22-year-old winger, recognized as one of United’s most impressive players under the management of Ruben Amorim, is anticipated to be sidelined for the remainder of the season.
“Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season,” he said. “Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury. I will come back stronger than ever!! Time to support the boys from the outside. Still loads to play for.”
