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! 🫶🏼
How has Declan Rice yet again come away with so much credit despite playing central midfield in a team that couldn't string any passes together for two full hours of football?
No shots on goal for two hours after the fifth minute, averaged about two passes a minute, one of the most shameful cowardly performances ever seen in a Champions League final. Played for penalties and got what they deserved.

The only player included in Tuchel's England squad is Madueke... 😬
Willian had 8 league goals in a PL winning Chelsea side and our fans treated him like he was stealing a living.
Saka scored 7 (S E V E N) and Arsenal fans are preparing the BallondOr campaign posters😭😭😭
If you don’t live here you won’t get it
But they’ve literally multiplied by 5 in the last few years as North London has been gentrified and the newcomers need a little side hobby to feel cool
Shout out the real ones it’s deserved, but this narrative is just false
They’ve somehow made the fact they’ve won it more bearable because they continue to come out with the most cringeworthy unimportant shite. Just celebrate you divvy with a bottle of lager and a smile on your face. Clowns.
