Arsenal star recalls surviving blast from three devices
The story of Mikel Merino, Arsenal midfielder, reveals his experience of surviving a bomb explosion targeting Borussia Dortmund's team bus in 2017. He confirmed that changing his seat before the explosions may have saved his life. He also recounts how a simple decision to move to a front seat before the journey saved him, as a large shrapnel lodged in the seat he was supposed to occupy. Merino suffered a serious injury to his foot during his career, but chose to undergo surgery after being diagnosed with a stress fracture that threatened his future. He successfully returned to the national team and participated in the 2026 World Cup, where he scored two crucial goals and won the tournament despite the health and physical challenges he faced.
