The College Dropout

They had an easy ride in the KOs because they finished 1st in the league stage. It does require a bit of luck but they earned the easier path. Next stage for Arsenal is to be more ruthless on the counter. Need a high quality attacker or 2. Particularly off the bench.

They were underdogs. Theres a significant gap between both clubs resources and experience at this level. You’re being biased. At no point did PSG look like they would win the game in normal time. For all their possession At various points in the game PSG looked devoid of ideas. Barcola aside I can’t think of any chances they created. I do think Arsenal should’ve pushed more for a second goal - especially in the first half. PSG didn’t have anything for them and Arsenal didn’t capitalise enough on it. Let’s not cope. Embarrassing is losing 7-2, looking up at the clock at 70 minutes and praying you don’t concede 10. I dont think Arsenal are inevitable in the CL. But they’ve gone QF, SF, F in consecutive seasons. It’s a team in prime age. They’ll be challengers for the next 2-3 years for all the big trophies.

Arsenals defence is crazy strong. Lots of teams defend leads with numbers behind the ball. Arsenal are actually very good at it. Even at 1-1 Arsenal kept PSG very quiet.

aye I’m starting to think the Isak camp was too naive and laid back. As a footballer you’re better off half arsing for a couple years. Have your agent work overtime throughout the season so buyer and seller are ready for May. You’re so non-committal your club are happy for you to sit out the last 3 games of the season. Fans are even kinda happy to see you go. Gordon probably still gets his loyalty bonus

Why didn’t we do that at the Nou Camp? Why can’t we defend a lead to save our lives? why did no other team take PSG to such deep waters in the entire KO rounds? Defensively Arsenal are one of the best sides in European football I’ve seen. They finished top of the group stage. Went undefeated throughout the whole competition. It’s dour to watch as a neutral. But they can really defend.

It would’ve worked with a fully fit Timber too which is disgusting to think about. As dour as Arsenal were. PSG rarely troubled them.

They were so negative at 1-0 up. At 1-1 they looked decent playing it long to Havertz. Thought all the wingers on both teams were poor. Defence won. Kvara had 1 of 2 moments. Madueke similar but nothing hooked up. Substitute strikers were god awful for both teams and killed the game.

Kane is an all time great. But he needs to make the difference in a major Title win and he hasn’t. Otherwise he’ll always be a little under rated

There is a lack of talent mind. Someone said the attackers that ended the game for them could all play for Fulham and it’s so true. At the same time I think Martinelli and Madueke are World Cup bound. That’s. The level these days.

Mbappe makes teams worse. Although I think he has the most individual quality of any player in the world. I agree it’s very flat at the top.

Long balls all night today. Utter shit.

Til I die brother

Yep. Probably why I don’t mind Arsenal as a club or the fans. But a league title is more than enough. People would have been far too happy had they won tonight.

Arsenal > Chelsea as a football club. The mood in London has shifted since Arsenal won the league. It’s a real club. Thats more than enough success for them mind. Would’ve been the worst summer ever had they won that tonight.

Aye the 4th or 5th PSG penalty Raya just runs to one side before the ball is struck.

It is something to end a golden era for Madrid by joining and start one for PSG by leaving.

Raya was largely shit in the shootout too. Both keepers kept going crazily early.

Agreed. You know what I hate more than the stutter step penalty? The fucking whinging about it. Ivan Toney does it every time and he has one of the best records from the spot in the world.

£120m odd on Gyokeres and Madueke. Spend that money a bit better and they win multiple trophies this season.

All these had to do was put it on target. PSG GK wasn’t saving anything.

Yeh fuck off Arsenal.

wtf is wrong with these keepers?

PSG GK not got close to one all night.

Great one. Damn.

Martinelli is missing this all day.
