Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
You’ll see random pictures of Arshavin supporting Arsenal every year since he left. Dude never gave any interviews, just kept supporting the club like a proper fan. Top guy.
“How much they paying you?” Rang out for most of the second half.
A truly sad day for the sport. Every single person watching that game could tell that was not a fair official.
Football is in a dark place.
If this is my life now where my team and fans get bantered for losing Champions League finals after securing a league title by 7 points then so be it. It’s a life worth living.
@RedCartelHQ I think it’s because we know how well we played that game and what we deserved, feel kinda robbed form it all. But we played so well and the players gave their all
Not an Arsenal fan at all but they were robbed. From the moment the second half kicked off the referee was shocking towards them. It setup PSG’s momentum & made it tougher than the game already was. Something was said to him at HT 100%. Even talking to Gabriel before that penalty
