Marcia Lewis experienced an unforgettable moment as she watched her son, Myles Lewis-Skelly, make his Champions League debut for Arsenal, and her emotional reaction spoke volumes.

Myles was brought on as a stoppage-time substitute for Bukayo Saka during Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

The 18-year-old’s appearance came nearly a year after signing his first professional contract with the club.

Having already made his Premier League debut in a 2-2 draw against Manchester City in September, this Champions League debut marked another milestone in his budding career.

In heartwarming footage, Marcia can be seen shaking her head in disbelief as her son’s substitution is announced, clearly overwhelmed by the moment.

When Myles’ name appears on the big screen, she lets out an excited scream, covers her mouth, and taps her loved ones, fully realizing that her son is playing on Europe’s biggest stage.

Her joy is palpable as she claps enthusiastically, raising her arms to celebrate this proud family achievement.

With tears in her eyes, Marcia manages to utter, “Oh my God,” capturing the depth of her pride and excitement.

Lewis-Skelly, who hails from Islington, has had an eventful few weeks. Having risen through the ranks of Arsenal’s Hale End academy since his early days as an under-nine, he has quickly established himself as a promising talent.

Notably, during his Premier League debut against Manchester City, he was even booked on the sidelines for what the PGMOL described as “showing a lack of respect for the game” after being sent to communicate with goalkeeper David Raya, who appeared to be time-wasting.

Manager Mikel Arteta has been full of praise for the young midfielder. “He’s a competitor,” Arteta said. “Every duel he enters, he engages with his teammates and always maintains eye contact. He’s a special character with versatility. He can play as a left-back, No.6, or No.8, adapting to different roles. His intelligence and competitive edge make him stand out at this level, and he’s eager to succeed.”

Real Madrid is gearing up for their second league phase match of the 2024-25 Champions League against Lille, and Carlo Ancelotti has revealed his line-up, which includes one major surprise.

Endrick Felipe, who has been patiently waiting for his chance to shine since joining the club, will make his first start for Real Madrid.

Despite showing promise in several substitute appearances, this will be the Brazilian’s debut in the starting XI. Ancelotti has opted to give Endrick the nod, leaving Rodrygo Goes on the bench.

Another notable inclusion is Eduardo Camavinga, who returns to the starting line-up for the first time this season after recovering from a knee injury.

He replaces Luka Modric, marking the second change from the squad that played in the Madrid derby.

In a surprising move, Kylian Mbappe has been included in the matchday squad, returning from a thigh injury two weeks ahead of schedule.

Although he is not fully fit to start, he will be available as a substitute, joining Rodrygo and Modric on the bench.

Arsenal took full advantage of two costly errors by Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to secure a 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium in their Champions League clash tonight.

The Gunners’ first win of the new campaign came courtesy of first-half goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, with Mikel Arteta’s side capitalizing on set-pieces to break down their Ligue 1 opponents.

Leandro Trossard provided a pinpoint cross for Havertz’s opener in the 20th minute, but Donnarumma’s mistake made the goal possible. The PSG keeper rushed off his line and failed to claim the ball, allowing Havertz an easy finish.

Donnarumma was again in the spotlight just 15 minutes later when Saka’s free kick sailed through the penalty area, slipping past the Italian goalkeeper right down the middle to double Arsenal’s lead before halftime.

Despite dominating possession, PSG struggled to break down Arsenal’s defense. Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes came close in the first half, with Mendes hitting the post, but they couldn’t find a breakthrough.

Gabriel Martinelli nearly extended Arsenal’s lead early in the second half, but his one-on-one effort was saved by Donnarumma. PSG had their best chance to pull one back when Joao Neves hit the crossbar from a corner midway through the second half.

Arsenal, boasting one of Europe’s most formidable defenses, managed to hold on for a clean sheet, leaving Luis Enrique’s PSG side with just one goal in the UCL this season — an own goal in their previous match against Girona.
