Asenal’s pre-season continued with an encouraging 2-1 victory over German champions Bayern Munich in Los Angeles. A late Eddie Nketiah goal sealed the win for Arsenal, who welcomed their first-team stars back into the side for the first time since their Europa League final. The match featured also the captain of Armenian national team and Arsenal playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

“Great to be back on the pitch in this first test game with Bayern Munich., Thank you LA for the warm welcome,” Mkhitaryan wrote on Facebook following the match.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
