- The famous scene of the World Cup
In the 2018 World Cup, Arreola, who had never played in the French adult national team, as the third goalkeeper of the French team, finally lifted the Hercules Cup. Areola, as a pure Asian whose parents are Filipinos, became the first Asian player to lift the World Cup trophy as a player, and also became the first player in the history of modern football who did not represent the adult national team, but won the World Cup, creating a famous scene in the history of the World Cup.

The promising Areola has received a major blow at a critical moment in her career. In the summer of 2010, the Qatari consortium that officially acquired Paris Saint-Germain hoped to quickly improve its performance by spending money to buy people, and it was very impatient to train Areola. Although Arreola improved rapidly, surviving the Italian team's substitute goalkeeper Sirigu and germany's substitute goalkeeper Trapp, the arrival of Real Madrid's front goalkeeper Navas, and the arrival of Italy's new goalkeeper Donalumma in Paris, completely cut off Arreola's future in Paris, and successively joined premier league Fulham and West Ham United on loan to find opportunities. In the end, West Ham United provided a platform suitable for Arreola, as a rare Asian goalkeeper who won a place in the five major leagues, a rare Asian light, wishing Arreola a new career.
