Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said he is hoping Arsenal will concede goals soon.

Guardiola was speaking after their 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Sunday.

Erling Haaland scored twice as City closed the gap between themselves and the Gunners to six points.

Arsenal have been in stunning form lately and are yet to concede in seven matches across all competitions.

When asked if his team could sniff the title, Guardiola replied: “Well, hopefully, Arsenal can concede one goal one day. It is not easy for them.bIt’s just 10 games, there are 28 more to play and many, many things will happen.”

City host Liverpool next weekend in what could be a crucial fixture in the title race.

A New York surgeon, Dr. Richard Batista, made global headlines after demanding that his estranged wife return the kidney he had donated to her—or pay him $1.5 million in compensation—during their divorce proceedings.

Dr. Batista, a respected surgeon from Long Island, had donated one of his kidneys to his wife, Dawnell Batista, in 2001 when she was battling end-stage kidney failure. At the time, the gesture was widely seen as an extraordinary act of love and devotion.

However, just four years after the life-saving transplant, the couple’s marriage deteriorated, and Dawnell filed for divorce. The move reportedly shocked Batista, who later demanded either the return of his organ or financial compensation for what he described as a “gift of love” that had been betrayed.

“I saved her life, and then she turns around and files for divorce,” Batista was quoted as saying during a media interview at the time. “I wanted the organ back because it was a symbol of my commitment. If that’s not possible, I want fair compensation.”

The case quickly sparked a storm of debate in medical and legal circles. Could a donated organ be reclaimed after a breakup? Did such a gesture have monetary value in the eyes of the law?

Legal and medical experts were swift to condemn the demand, describing it as both legally impossible and ethically unsound. According to U.S. law, once an organ is donated, it is considered an irrevocable gift and can never be treated as property or used as leverage in financial disputes.

In 2009, the New York State Supreme Court formally ruled against Batista’s claim, citing the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, which prohibits the buying or selling of human organs for any reason. The court further clarified that a kidney donation, even within a marriage, carries no financial or marital ownership rights once it is transplanted.

Justice Jeffrey Grob, who presided over the case, emphasised that organ donation is a medical act based on consent and altruism—not a contractual exchange. “There is no monetary value assigned to human organs under the law,” he said in his ruling.

Though Batista’s emotional plea was rejected, the case reignited public discussion about love, sacrifice, and resentment within intimate relationships. Many saw it as a cautionary tale about mixing medical altruism with marital expectations, while others sympathised with Batista’s sense of betrayal after such a profound personal sacrifice.

Ethicists noted that while organ donation between spouses is not uncommon, it can create deep emotional ties that may later complicate divorce or separation. “When something as personal as an organ becomes part of the relationship, the boundaries between love and obligation can blur,” said one medical ethicist.

Dr. Batista’s story remains one of the most talked-about intersections of love, medicine, and law. It serves as a reminder that some gifts—especially those given from the body—can never be taken back, no matter how relationships change.
