Some takeaways from the game:
Not a penalty on Madueke. The difference to me was that both of them had ahold of each other. Their arms were locked.
Two handballs missed. Not even a VAR review. Saka's handball - how was that not reviewed?
Arse fans: "this was a free game for us", "it was a luxury". This whole season they've been touting they would win 4 trophies. They've been insufferable about it.
Arse fans: "why aren't football fans in England rooting for Arsenal", "its dreadful they're cheering against us". Seriously?
Arteta ball: get a goal, then stop attacking. PSG had 75% possession; took 21 shots. In short - they tried to win the game.
Rooney: he's a fat c***. Embarrassing he said Arse were robbed.
Football was saved.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaking in his post-match press conference:
"I watched all the penalties in the Champions League this season during the last 72 hours to understand what is a penalty and what's not, and that can easily be a penalty."
Sums up their mentality. Why would you spend the last 72 hours going through penalties unless you (a) intended to attempt to win penalties during the match or (b) try to scramble through 120 minutes to reach a penalty shootout?
I wouldn’t worry, Champions league isn’t for everyone…We were playing PSG and for all their possession it wasn't like they had a ton of chances. If we'd gone toe to toe we'd have been ripped apart. We didn't lose the match (obviously apart from pens which is a lottery) so if it had gone the other way and footballers paid £200k+ a week actually manage to hit the fucking target from 12 yards then the dastardly plan might have worked.
I'd imagine heavy investment in the summer plus we are guaranteed CWC qualification unless 2 different PL sides win the CL in the next couple of years and neither of them is Arsenal or City (the 2 PL sides with the highest English coefficients).
I was very tired my man. Sleep routine been poor.You lost me at fell asleep you **** !!!!!
They were shit FFS !!!!!This PSG side are one of the best teams ever. Credit to Enrique for building such a team and playing outstanding football. I wish he came to us.
He's trained them to cheat. Look at the cunts reaction.
There have been many games during our treble season where we have been shit too genius. You cannot win every game 5-0.They were shit FFS !!!!!
Winning the CL twice in a row is the hallmark of a great team. It’s extremely difficult and its not like they had an easy run-in either unlike Arsenal.Totally agree, I'm just saying I don't think this PSG team is one of the best ever. Very good team yes.
You forget KDB a couple of seasons ago.I'm quite surprised a player hasn't taken him out either unintentionally or on purpose the way he dances on the touchline.
He's that close to the playing surface he's in essence encroaching.

I didn't forget that, it was in my mind but I'm thinking about a proper fucking clattering for the twat.You forget KDB a couple of seasons ago.

Loving the ‘we didn’t lose the game’ vibe from the Tarquinius.
You did. You absolutely did.
The answer is (a) . Watching CL penalty awards doesn't help in the shoot out . The bloke's just hung himself right there .Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaking in his post-match press conference:

Not even touching on penalties or not, just an embarrassing comment and reaction from ArtetaArsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaking in his post-match press conference:
