🚨Paul Scholes on Arsenal :
"They're parking 11 men back 90 minutes through their biggest game in the last 20 years. It's pathetic. That's not how to win a Champions League Title.
"It's funny. There was only one football team on that pitch."
🚨🎙️| Vitinha on Arsenal:
🗣️“They didn’t come to win. How can a club start playing a low block after 7 minutes in a Champions League final?
Maybe they thought this was the Premier League where every decision goes their way. At this level, mentality wins trophies.”
Vitinha completed 141 passes tonight.
Neves completed 77.
Ruiz completed 68.
Declan Rice completed 31.
Lewis-Skelly completed 12.
Odegaard completed 6.
One team came to play football. One came to spoil the game.
Ref tells Saka to hurry up and take the corner with stoppage time up. Saka does his usual slow-walk to run down the clock. The ref calmly waits, and the absolute second Saka gets into position? He blows for half-time.
Absolute cinema. Masterclass game management for a final.
Arsenal got so used to getting away with murder from Premier League refs that when someone actually enforces the rules, they think they’re being robbed.
Credit where it’s due tho, they played some demonic football to get here. But if PL refs weren't so intimidated by Arteta’s touchline tantrums and fooled by their theatrics, Arsenal wouldn’t be parading a PGMOL trophy today.
Justice served in Europe! 🫶🏼
