Who else noticed what Messi did when the game got hard?
He noticed that Egypt kept the middle of the pitch compact and almost impenetrable, he then moved to the wing and hugged the touchline. Then he did his thing from there. They obviously cannot all free up the middle and move to the wing to stop him there.
There are some things you can't coach Messi on. He already knows what is happening on the pitch.
This is one of the many reasons why he's the GOAT ๐
Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
๐ฃ๏ธ โI 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.โ

๐ฃ๏ธ โI saw how Arsenal fans celebrated and thoughtโฆ what have other teams been doing when they win the league?โ ๐ณ๐
Keane admitted Arsenalโs celebrations felt completely different from anything he had seen before ๐๐ดโช๏ธ
๐ฃ๏ธ โThis felt special. Everyone around the world knew Arsenal had won the title โ even people who donโt watch football.โ
๐ฃ๏ธ โThe celebrations worldwide were mental.โ ๐ฅ
He even joked that if trophy celebrations always looked like this, he would rather see Arsenal keep winning trophies than anyone else ๐๐
๐ฃ๏ธ โBecause they give the true meaning of celebrations.
Reporter to Arteta:
"I've reported on Anfield 89, the double years of Wenger, The Invincibles. I didn't think it would ever get any bigger. But the emotion outside the stadium on Tuesday night. I've never seen anything like it. And you're responsible"
