"There are several instances that I felt so deflated. I was so shattered at one point that I even considered divorcing Arsenal until my loyalty came in the way. Once you pick a football club, it’s like marriage; you only do it once. You don’t ever think you are going to change or jump ship. But it did cross my mind. That’s how low I got at one point about Arsenal football club and their fortunes in the Premier League," said Ranveer as quoted by NDTV.

The Bollywood star, however, is happy that the club has bounced back. "It’s been a good season, and I think the prospects of Arsenal achieving top four is on. I am thrilled to see Arsenal performing so well, and I wish best for the club," he added.

There is no 1 greatest of all time (GOAT). There is always the GOAT conversation and these two are in the conversation and I think it's a huge privilege for me and this entire generation to have witnessed their entire career from the very start."
