Our member Samual Wittberger shares his visit to The Arsenal to watch the team take on Manchester United in January 2025.

On 12 January 2025, I had the privilege of watching Arsenal take on Manchester United in the FA Cup. This was my first time watching a live match since my last trip to the Emirates in 2020. The first half got off to a slow start, but things really picked up in the second half and all the way till the penalty shootout. It was great sitting near other countries’ supporters clubs – it made for a really lively and exciting match atmosphere. Although the loss was disappointing, it was a great experience and I can’t wait to be back.
