Borussia Dortmund defeated Arsenal 3-2 during a pre-season friendly in the Emirates Cup. Dortmund’s goals were scored by Samuele Inácio, Konstantinos Karetsas, and Joane Gadou, while Arsenal’s goals came from Ethan Nwaneri and a Viktor Gyökeres penalty. Although Dortmund won the match, Arsenal won the subsequent penalty shootout 5-4 as part of the tournament format. Following the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed dissatisfaction with defensive lapses and a lack of match rhythm. He noted that the squad remains incomplete due to injuries to players such as William Saliba and Jurrien Timber, emphasizing the need for improved collective performance and fitness ahead of the FA Community Shield. The match also featured the unveiling of Arsenal's new signing, Bruno Guimarães. Dortmund coach Niko Kovač praised the technical ability of newcomer Konstantinos Karetsas, though he noted the youngster still requires physical conditioning.
