Match12 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Arsenal

0‑3 against Gimnasia y Esgrima, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

A cup hiding at Gimnasia y Esgrima leaves Arsenal explaining themselves

0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Arsenal — 7.45

1 for Julián Vila, marked 7.45, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Lautaro Guzmán in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Arsenal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Valentín Serrano beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Iván Cabrera gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Arsenal dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Thiago Schiavulli falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match15 Aug 2026

Julián Vila rescues a point for Arsenal

It needed Julián Vila to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Racing, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Luca Franco's — 8.41

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.41, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad10 Aug 2026

6 saves: Nahuel Pezzini was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Arsenal

Lautaro Guzmán and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match8 Aug 2026

Luca Franco the difference as Arsenal beat Maipú

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Luca Franco. 2‑0 against Maipú, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market10 Aug 2026

Lucas Ramos steps up from the Arsenal academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lucas Ramos has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Arsenal promote Matías Núñez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Matías Núñez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Iván Muñoz joins the Arsenal first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Iván Muñoz is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Arsenal promote Tomás Rojas from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tomás Rojas has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Brahian Alemán falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Aug 2026

Valentín Serrano hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Arsenal can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A brace, and Luca Franco takes the afternoon — 8.15

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Luca Franco provided it, and the 8.15 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Lautaro Guzmán stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Lautaro Guzmán and Arsenal agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Damián Pérez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Arsenal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 Aug 2026

Güemes take the points off Arsenal

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Arsenal

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lautaro Guzmán was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

One of their own: Luca Franco

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Nahuel Pezzini

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nahuel Pezzini, and the manager let it.

Market3 Aug 2026

49 months and counting on Lautaro Guzmán

Still no offer on the table, and Lautaro Guzmán’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
