At Stan Kroenke's LA Rams' SoFi Stadium, Arsenal completed a successful preseason tour of the USA with a spirited 5-3 victory over Barcelona. In a fun first half, Robert Lewandowski, Bukayo Saka, Raphinha, and Kai Havertz scored goals. After the intermission, Leandro Trossard scored twice to give the Gunners the lead, and with two minutes left, Ferran Torres made it 4-3. But shortly after, Fabio Vieira restored the two-goal advantage to give the Gunners a victory as their US trip came to a close.

It became pretty competitive for a friendly game, according to manager Mikel Arteta. After the first goal and the first tackle, it became that way. Performing in front of 70,000 spectators contributes to the mood. Three Arsenal players received yellow cards throughout the game, while one from Barcelona, and Arteta acknowledged that his team disregarded his warnings about the game's violent aspect. "Ultimately, soccer belongs to the players," he said in elaborating.

We're playing in front of 70,000 people, and as soon as the game begins, the spectators will revolt against the coaches and do anything they want. When the game's first foul is committed, the players will become more focused and begin to play. Before the Community Shield match against Manchester City on August 6, Arsenal will play a friendly against Monaco on Wednesday after arriving home from the United States. A week later, the Premier League season started.
