Arsenal are always an intriguing team.

Can they reach the next level?

Can they make up the fine margins needed to win a major honour they probably already should’ve won?

These are questions typically asked when the Gunners are mentioned, but I personally believe they are one of the world’s best, most adaptive teams, and it’s a matter of time before a major honour arrives.

You can feel the team improving year on year in the same way Jürgen Klopp revived Liverpool; it’s just that Mikel Arteta opts for more variety in his methods.

This adaptiveness was on show vs Newcastle United.

It has to be said that, representative of what the Premier League currently is, it was often a game of long balls, with both teams looking to get it to their big strikers.

Ultimately, though, the game hinged on Arsenal’s ability to find gaps in the half-spaces of Newcastle’s block, and the Magpies retreated deeper as they lost their out-ball to Nick Woltemade.

In this Premier League tactical analysis, we will analyse the key components of how Arsenal found central space to overcome a difficult challenge at St. James’ Park.

Barcelona hosted Real Sociedad in matchday seven of the 2025/2026 La Liga season, which ended in a narrow 2-1 victory for the Catalans.

With yet another domestic game where they had over 70% ball possession (75%), it was no surprise that Sociedad struggled to create opportunities and generated just a handful of chances.

The visitors were the ones to open the scoring from a counter-attacking situation at the half-hour mark.

However, it took the defending champions less than 15 minutes to get back on level terms through a corner.

Although the Blaugrana got the lead at the hour mark, they had spells of discomfort as Sociedad inflicted some pain in transition.

Through this tactical analysis, we aim to understand how Hansi Flick Barcelona penetrated Real Sociedad’s defensive structure and the ways Sociedad caused trouble for the Catalans.

El Derbi Madrileño is always a massive story in the Spanish capital, and it was not different this past weekend when Atlético Madrid hosted Real Madrid for the first derby in La Liga this season.

For Atlético Madrid, the season didn’t get off to the greatest start.

After six games, long-time coach Diego Simeone and his team were stuck in the midfield of La Liga, only winning two of their games so far.

Los Rojiblancos also lost only one game, but they have drawn three games already.

They are looking for a way forward after a heartbreaking loss in stoppage time in the UEFA Champions League against Liverpool.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are off to a great start under newly appointed manager and former midfielder Xabi Alonso.

Alonso has his team play inspired football, winning six games straight to start the season, which meant that Real were the favourites going into the week.

After both teams won their games during the week, it ought to be a spectacle anyhow, and the first real obstacle for Real this season.

In the end, Atlético won convincingly 5-2, being the better team for the majority of the game despite trailing 1-2 during the first half.

Simeone knew what his team had to do to hurt the new Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid showcased why they are arguably the most obnoxious team to play against in world football.

In this tactical analysis, we will take a look at the tactics used by Diego Simeone and Xabi Alonso, how Atlético managed to hold off Rea,l and why the game unfolded the way it did.
