Arsenal’s Max Dowman Breaks Record As Youngest Player In Champions League History At 15

Arsenal’s rising star Max Dowman etched his name into football history on Tuesday night, becoming the youngest player ever to appear in the UEFA Champions League. At just 15 years and 309 days old, the teenage midfielder came on as a 73rd-minute substitute in Arsenal’s 3–0 win over Slavia Prague, marking a record-breaking moment for both himself and the club. Dowman shattered the previous record set by German striker Youssoufa Moukoko, who made his debut for Borussia Dortmund in 2020 at 16 years and 18 days. Moukoko, now with FC Copenhagen, was preparing to face Tottenham Hotspur later that evening. The achievement caps off a whirlwind week for Dowman, who had already become Arsenal’s youngest-ever starter in their 2–0 League Cup victory over Brighton — proof of manager Mikel Arteta’s growing faith in the teenager’s extraordinary potential.

Mac Allister Header Gives Liverpool 1-0 Win Over Real Madrid In Champions League Clash

Liverpool earned a hard-fought 1-0 win over Real Madrid in a thrilling Champions League clash at Anfield. The decisive moment came in the 61st minute when Alexis Mac Allister found space inside the box to head in Dominik Szoboszlai’s pinpoint cross, leaving Thibaut Courtois with no chance. Courtois had been Madrid’s standout performer before the goal, producing a string of top-class saves to deny Darwin Núñez and Mohamed Salah. But his efforts weren’t enough to prevent Liverpool from breaking through. Real Madrid’s defense struggled to cope with the Reds’ relentless pressing and quick transitions, while their attacking play lacked the cutting edge needed to trouble Alisson Becker. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s highly anticipated return to Anfield, now in Real Madrid colors, drew boos from the home supporters. The former Liverpool star came on in the 82nd minute but couldn’t make a difference against his old club. Madrid boss Xabi Alonso introduced Rodrygo and pushed Fede Valverde further forward in search of an equalizer, but Liverpool’s organization and counter-attacking threat saw them comfortably see out the win on Matchday 4 of the 2025 Champions League.

Who Am I To Reply Trump? Akpabio Says Senate Will Wait For Government Briefing On Genocide Claims

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged caution over U.S. President Donald Trump’s allegations of genocide against Christians in Nigeria, saying the Senate would not rush to respond until it receives an official briefing from the federal government. Speaking during Tuesday’s plenary, Akpabio disclosed that many Nigerians had been calling on him to personally react to Trump’s statement but maintained that only due process would guide the Senate’s response. “Nigerians want us to take a position. But we won’t take a position on that until we know what the government is doing about it,” Akpabio said. He added, “Who am I to reply Trump?” stressing that the Senate could only deliberate on issues that have been formally presented before it. Trump had recently declared Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern,” accusing the government of allowing the killing of Christians. His statement was followed by a post from U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who claimed his department was “preparing for action.” Akpabio emphasized that the claims did not reflect Nigeria’s reality, insisting that the country remains united despite its internal challenges. “All we need is peace,” he said, warning against individuals who take domestic issues abroad to paint a false picture of religious conflict. Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, however, interjected, saying Nigeria must not be afraid to assert its sovereignty. “We’re not afraid. Don’t be scared. I am a Nigerian. I am a parliamentarian. Nigeria is a sovereign nation,” Barau said. Akpabio also warned against the dangers of fake news on social media and urged security agencies to closely monitor online platforms. “This is necessary so that their breaking news doesn’t break Nigeria,” he added. "I'm not scared of Trump. I can say my mind. I'm Nigerian, Nigeria is a sovereign nation. I am a parliamentarian, and he is saying lies about our country." – Deputy Senate President Sen Barau Jibrin. pic.twitter.com/7X50f1vMbu — Imran Muhammad (@Imranmuhdz) November 4, 2025

Arsenal Thrash Slavia Prague 3–0 To Maintain Perfect Champions League Record

Arsenal continued their perfect run in the UEFA Champions League with a 3–0 victory over Slavia Prague on Tuesday night, securing their fourth straight win and matching a 121-year-old club record of eight consecutive clean sheets. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring from the penalty spot after a handball in the box, calmly sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. The goal marked his fourth straight Champions League game on the scoresheet, bringing his total to 12 goals in 20 starts in the competition. After the break, Mikel Merino took charge, volleying in Leandro Trossard’s cross to double Arsenal’s lead before heading home a third midway through the second half after a mix-up from Slavia’s goalkeeper, Jakub Markovic. With the result sealed, manager Mikel Arteta brought on several youngsters, including 15-year-old Max Dowman, who made history as the youngest player ever to appear in the Champions League at 15 years and 308 days old. Arsenal’s defence remained solid, surviving a late VAR review to keep another clean sheet — their eighth in a row, equalling a record that has stood since 1903. The Gunners now shift focus to domestic duty as they visit Sunderland on Saturday before facing Bayern Munich after the international break.

“She Is Not Affiliated in Any Drug Abuse,” Says Regina Daniels’ Brother Sammy

Regina Daniels’ Brother Claims Ned Nwoko Detaining Their Sibling Until Actress Returns Home

Regina Daniels’ eldest brother has accused her husband, Ned Nwoko, of detaining their sibling, Sammy, until the actress agrees to return to his home. In a post shared online, he alleged that Sammy has been denied basic rights and kept in an undisclosed location under harsh conditions, claiming the act amounts to abuse of power and intimidation. According to him, Ned allegedly vowed that Sammy would not be released unless Regina returns. He wrote: “Sammy does not have a right to legal aide. Sammy does not have a right to be seen. Sammy has had nothing to eat or drink. Sammy is alive? I no longer know! Sammy’s location has been undisclosed. Is this still an arrest, kidnap, or intimidation and abuse of power? Ned said, and I quote, if Regina does not come back home, Sammy will never be released!” He further stated that lawyers who tried to intervene have been obstructed, making it impossible for the family to access Sammy or secure his legal representation. “I’ll be releasing a petition link soon. Do so well to sign! Lawyers are on standby, but Sammy can’t be seen or solicited for as instructed by Ned till Regina comes back,” he added. The post has sparked outrage online, with many Nigerians calling for authorities to investigate the allegations and ensure justice is served.
