Call it “soft as fuck” if you want but one thing the World Cup always seems to do, almost as soon as it begins, is remind you that you’ll likely enjoy your life a LOT more if you welcome people in and try to have a laugh rather than being consistently aggy.
-Reporter: After your second goal, you revealed the number 17. What did it mean?

🚨🗣️ | Pep Guardiola Shocked on Arsenal fans Reaction towards Gabriel Magalhaes after missing the Penalty: 🤯
“I have to say something because I saw this and, honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. We know how this business works. Usually, in a Champions League final, a player misses a crucial penalty against a top, top team like PSG, and the next day... it is a disaster for him. The social media, the media, it can be very, very cruel. Very ugly. You expect the anger, the threats, the terrible words. We see it all the time.
But what the Arsenal fans did for Gabriel? Wow. It is something else. Truly. To see a player fail in the most painful moment, and the response from the stadium, from the people, is just... pure love? I am told his shirt sales went up by three hundred and fifty percent in a few days. Three hundred and fifty percent! This is incredible. I have been in football a long, long time, as a player and a manager, and I have never seen anything like it. Never.
You know, you open Facebook, you open Instagram or Twitter, and the narrative is always the same. 'Arsenal fans are insufferable. They are the worst fanbase, they are annoying.' You hear this tag all the time. But I look at this gesture and I think, 'How?' How do they have this tag? If a fanbase can wrap their arms around a player like that, in the darkest moment of the club's history a trophy they have been dying to win for decades then everything we are told online is a lie. It is a massive misconception. They have been judged so harshly.
This shows me who they really are. It shows their class, their humanity, and their loyalty. To behave like this? It is not annoying, it is not insufferable. It is beautiful. They deserve incredible praise for this, because this is what football should be about”

1. Champions of England, we know what we are
2. The fact that this table exists despite how involved the technology has become in the games, shows it may as well not exist and we can have the moments back
If EVERY VAR call was changed to the correct decision, Arsenal still would have won the Premier League ahead of Manchester City, with 81 points. [@TheAthleticFC] 🏆 ✅
“Please nation-state, save us from another Arsenal triumph 🙏🏼”
If anything neutrals should be supporting Arsenal instead of a literal country (and known cheaters) lmao
Arsenal hate being so strong that people are shamelessly getting behind CITY and PSG is crazy to me.
Arsenal hating is fine and if we were playing Bayern in the final fine, but wanting City or PSG to continue to win anything runs contrary to being a football fan
🇫🇷 Gabby: "I want PSG to win it!"
😡 Arsenal fan: "I don't usually bite... but the negativity is unbearable!"
This #AFC fan was not happy with Agbonlahor's reasons for wanting PSG to beat them in the Champions League final! 👀
