Following Arsenal’s triumph against Chelsea, Barcelona’s Dani Olmo messaged Mikel Merino. Merino, 28, scored the decisive goal in Sunday’s 1-0 victory over their Premier League opponents.
The Spanish midfielder, who joined from Real Sociedad for £27.4 million, has recently been utilized as a striker in the absence of Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, both injured. Against the Blues, he demonstrated his surprisingly good striker abilities once more, flicked Martin Odegaard’s corner past Blues keeper Robert Sanchez and into the back of the net to secure a crucial three points.

Merino took to Instagram after the match to express his excitement with Arsenal fans, posting a photo of himself celebrating at the Emirates. Olmo, who had been linked with a move to Arsenal, issued his own message to his colleague.

Merino captioned his post with “London derby”, followed by a red emoji, a golf flag emoji, and a football emoji. Olmo, Merino’s Spanish national team teammate, responded to the message with a single word: “Aura,” emphasizing his foreign colleague’s significant impact in north London.
In his post-match interview, the Arsenal boss said: “The way he’s approaching it is incredible. He wants to understand everything and to learn from it. He’s very critical of himself all the time. The reality is that he’s winning matches for us.
