In episode 46 of No Limit Football, host Sunastats sits down with Simple Gents to take a deep dive into Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Together, they review last season — a campaign full of energy, belief, and progress. Arsenal led the Premier League for most of the year, powered by young stars like Saka, Ødegaard, and Martinelli, and boosted by the impact of signings such as Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko.

The conversation explores how Arteta has rebuilt the team’s identity, the challenges faced in the final stretch, and what finishing second behind Manchester City really means for the club’s future. From the atmosphere at the Emirates to the rise of a fearless young squad, this episode captures why fans once again believe Arsenal are on the path back to glory.

What makes a football club truly "global"? For Al-Nasr FC, the journey from local powerhouse to international sensation has been remarkable, earning them the nickname "Al Alami" after becoming the first Saudi team to compete in the 2020 Club World Cup against giants like Real Madrid.

Two passionate Al-Nasr supporters, Abdullah and Abdulaziz, take us behind the scenes of Saudi Arabia's football revolution. They candidly discuss last season's struggles with administrative problems and lack of discipline, contrasted with the renewed hope brought by new coach Jesus. His strong personality and tactical prowess at clubs like Benfica give fans reason to believe this season could end their six-year Saudi Pro League trophy drought.

The squad transformation has been nothing short of extraordinary. Joao Felix (who recently scored a hat-trick) and Kingsley Coman now complement superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané in a team built to challenge for multiple trophies. Perhaps most fascinating is how the Saudi Pro League has evolved to attract world-class talent without forcing players to sacrifice their international careers – a significant shift that legitimizes the competition on the global stage.

Yet this revolution creates an intriguing paradox. As international stars flood the domestic league, opportunities diminish for local players, potentially contributing to the Saudi national team's World Cup qualification struggles. This stands in stark contrast to the golden era of Saudi football (1994-1998) when legendary figures like Majid Abdullah – whom our guests name as the greatest Saudi player ever – led the national team to international prominence.
