💣🚨Mikel Merino’s emotional message to William Saliba after France’s defeat and the defender’s injury. 🗣️ Mikel Merino: “Football can be beautiful, but it can also be incredibly cruel.” 🗣️ Tonight we celebrated reaching the World Cup final, but seeing my brother William Saliba leave the pitch with a back injury took away so much of that joy. No player ever wants to see a teammate or a friend walk off like that.” 🗣️ William, I know how much this tournament meant to you. I know how much you wanted to fight for France until the very last second. Watching you leave the pitch in pain was heartbreaking. 🗣️ You’re one of the strongest defenders I’ve ever played with, but more importantly, you’re an incredible person. This defeat doesn’t define you, and neither does this injury. 🗣️ Arsenal supporters know exactly who you are, a warrior who never stops fighting. I have no doubt you’ll recover, come back stronger, and be leading us again at the Emirates very soon.” 🗣️ Tonight Spain celebrate reaching the World Cup final, but I’m also thinking about my teammate and my friend. Stay strong, Will. We’ll all be waiting for you. 🗣️ Get well soon, William Saliba. Arsenal can’t wait to see you back where you belong. #Saliba #FRAESP
