When they see it, they should know they’re facing the champions of the league.
Nothing is done just for the sake. It’s deliberate. You’re coming to the home of the champions. Have that fear when you step in.
There’s a reason it was placed in the away entrance and not home. It’s a message. Another attempt at having psychological edge. Small detail.
Arsenal have never won the Champions League.
We know.
Yet UEFA still ranks Arsenal above Chelsea and Manchester United.
Turns out coefficient points are earned by winning football matches, not reliving old DVDs and trophy parades.
The present matters.
And right now Arsenal are one of Europe’s elite. 🔴⚪😤
“Arsenal fans are unbearable”
Translation:
“I was dishing it out for years but now I am offended I have to take it, I find it oppressive and unbearable”.
This will be one of pictures will pop up on whatever social media timelines future generations use 50 years from now and people reply “when football was better” whilst reminiscing about what we all had before it was stolen away from us
The idea that PSG 'saved football' with their victory over Arsenal ignores the massive systemic advantages they hold. As a state-backed club, they frequently bypass Financial Fair Play constraints and enjoy significant political leverage within UEFA. Furthermore, a highly accommodating domestic schedule allows them to manage player minutes far better than their European counterparts, a benefit often compounded by favorable refereeing decisions and overshadowed by a problematic fan culture.
Thierry Henry on why Arsenal divide opinion in football:
🗣️ “People keep asking why Arsenal get so much attention, so much criticism, so much reaction… it’s actually very simple.
Arsenal are not a club people can ignore.
When they win, it becomes a global conversation. When they lose, it becomes a global celebration. That doesn’t happen to small clubs.
That happens to clubs that matter.
And Arsenal matter.
That’s why every decision, every mistake, every defeat gets amplified beyond normal football discussion.
Look at what happens after a night like the Champions League final against PSG. It’s not just PSG fans celebrating you see rival fans, neutral fans, even people who don’t watch Arsenal regularly suddenly very interested.
That tells you everything.
Nobody spends that much energy reacting to a club they don’t care about.
And yes, part of the noise comes from the size of the fanbase. Arsenal supporters are everywhere, and when a fanbase is that big, opinions become louder, arguments become bigger, and rivalries become more personal online.
But let’s be honest… every top club in the world behaves the same way when they’re successful.
People say they don’t like Arsenal fans, but what they really don’t like is the visibility that comes with success and expectation.
Because Arsenal are back in conversations for the biggest trophies, every result now carries weight.
That’s not hatred. That’s relevance.
And the truth is simple clubs that nobody talks about don’t get loved or hated.
Arsenal get both.
And that alone tells you exactly where they are in football.”
Man City with years of financial doping won the Champions League only once in 10yrs, despite having a legendary manager like Guardiola, but rivals are more bothered about Arsenal, an honest & genuine institution losing an UCL Final. Pure hypocrisy. 🤡
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Met Police just confirmed that more than 2 million people have gathered for the Arsenal parade:
Total number estimated to reach 2.5 million as the largest crowd ever following a trophy 🏆 ceremony.
The bus of champions 🏆 Arsenal 🍾 PremierLeague 🥳
Supporters of a team who have won the league are enjoying the PL trophy parade and come out in massive numbers.
Supporters of teams who haven’t won anything are going on about how Arsenal lost to PSG and talking about their old glory days.
Massive difference in standards.
Arsenal won the same amount of games (45) as Chelsea (26) and Man Utd (19) TOGETHER this season.
Stop getting rattled by fan bases who spend their whole season watching Arsenal fight for every title while their teams where playing for nothing since November.
Teams who finished 10th, who played only once a week entire season, who barely managed to escape relegation are bantering Arsenal for losing to the best team in Europe on penalties. Don’t bother responding to shameless idiots
Not surprised that people are immediately trying to write revisionist history about the game today. That’s what idiots do
-Arsenal scored from open play. PSG could not
-PSG needed a penalty, conceded by Arsenal’s 3rd string RB, to score at all
-Outside of that penalty, PSG did not record a shot on target inside the box until the 117th minute
-PSG needed a penalty shootout to win the game
Casual fans will look at the possession and the shots, without understanding that Arsenal allowed PSG to have the ball and shoot it from non-threatening areas on purpose
At the end of the day, PSG deserved to win, because they stepped up when it mattered
But anybody suggesting that Arsenal didn’t play well, or didn’t execute their plan to perfection, is either lying to you for interactions, or they are genuinely incapable of analyzing the game that they just watched
It really is that simple, at the end of the day
