Ozil Throws The ‘More Than 25’ Jab At DiCaprio In Arsenal’s Defence
Former Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil showcased his quick wit and love for his former club by responding to statements attributed to Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
In a one-sided exchange on Twitter, Ozil didn’t hold back in setting the record straight regarding Arsenal’s legacy.
DiCaprio, reportedly expressing a lack of interest in soccer and unawareness of Arsenal, became the subject of Ozil’s succinct yet impactful comeback.
The German midfielder quoted the actor’s statement with a simple yet pointed reply, stating, “Arsenal Football Club is older than 25 years … so why should he know? 🫣 #YaGunnersYa ❤”

Ozil’s response cleverly draws attention to Arsenal’s rich history, emphasizing that the club’s existence spans more than 25 years.
The retired footballer’s intention was not only to defend his beloved club but also to provide context to DiCaprio’s reported lack of knowledge about Arsenal.
Adding a touch of humor, Ozil alluded to the age reference by stating, “Arsenal is more than 25 years.” This playful remark cleverly linked Arsenal’s longevity to DiCaprio’s personal life, where the actor has been known for dating individuals under 25.
Although the interaction wasn’t a back-and-forth exchange and DiCaprio didn’t respond, Ozil’s solo response garnered attention on social media.
