🚨🎙️ | Mourinho on the UEFA Champions League Final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain:
🗣️ “People have doubted Arsenal a lot this season. People have said they’re not ready, they don’t have enough experience, they can’t handle the big moments… but I completely disagree.
I genuinely believe they have a real chance against PSG.
Yes, PSG have unbelievable individual quality, world-class players who can change a game in seconds, but football is not always about individuals. Sometimes it’s about structure, discipline, belief, and the manager on the touchline.
And I know who Mikel Arteta is. I know how strong he is as a coach. Tactically, mentally, emotionally, he gives Arsenal an edge.
People are calling Arsenal underdogs, and maybe they are on paper, but finals are not won on paper. They’re won by the team that handles the pressure better.
I’m rooting for Arsenal because I believe they can hurt PSG. I believe they can frustrate them, outwork them, and if they stay focused, they can absolutely win this final.
This is the moment Arsenal fans have been waiting for. One game away from history.
And if Arteta pulls this off… then everybody will finally have to give this team the respect they deserve.”
🚨 Gary Neville on what it would take for Declan Rice to win the Ballon d'Or:
🗣️ "Now that Arsenal have won the Premier League and came so close to the Champions League, if Declan Rice can win the World Cup with England, he has to be in the Ballon d'Or conversation."
The problem? Winning the World Cup with England might be the hardest part of that equation. 👀
Rice has already conquered England with Arsenal. If he adds a World Cup to his résumé, the Ballon d'Or conversation becomes impossible to ignore.
🏆 Do you think Declan Rice can win the Ballon d'Or one day?
