A legacy forged.

Daniel Siebert was trusted with the Champions League Final. A few days later, FIFA decided he wasn't good enough for the World Cup.

Booked Saka. Ignored the foul on Madueke. Ki!led Arsenal attacks.

Now he's been left off the World Cup referees list.

Arsenal won't be at the World Cup. Neither will Daniel Siebert. 😂🔴⚪

[all arsenal news @Alarsenalnews_]

We said he was incompetent and unfit to officiate at the highest level.

Some of you came here to defend him . Unfortunately, his errors have cost Arsenal the 2025/2026 champions league trophy

The first error in the match, he angrily booked Bukayo Saka for a 50/50 challenge

Error number, referee Daniel Siebert stopped Bukayo Saka from taking a corner kick in the last second of the first half

That decision was shocking and emb@rrassing. I have never seen when a match is stopped when there's a goal bound move.

Then, the biggest error of the night was when Madueke was clumsily hauled down in the eighteen yards by PSG Nunez Mendez

The referee Daniel Siebert waved on there was no foul and penalty.

That decision was what cost Arsenal the match and the trophy.

Arsenal lost the trophy because the center referee Daniel Siebert was incompetent.

He failed to do his job properly

To tell you that he was incompetent, Daniel Siebert has been dropped from the list of referees to officiate at the world

His name was completely committed a clear indication of an indictment by FIFA

To officiate at the final of the UEFA champions should one of the highest jobs for a refeee

Now , Daniel Siebert officiated at the UEFA champions league final but not considered good enough for the world cup

This is Karma at work. It came so fast for Daniel Siebert.

[The Bottom Corner @thebottomcorna]

The graph below clearly shows that matches involving Arsenal have the ball in play more than 65% of the Premier League.

Manchester United, Newcastle United and Chelsea are the worst but Arsenal is the team the English media and pundits criticise for "wasting time" which is clearly not true.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

The Premier League title race would have entered the final match round with Manchester City two points clear of Arsenal, according to The Athletic’s analysis of key match decisions made by referees and their video assistants.

■ Arsenal, Chelsea and Sunderland benefitted the most from errors
■ Bournemouth earned four fewer points than they should have
■ Fulham should have qualified for the Europa League
■ An extra 17 red cards and 36 penalties should have been awarded

A monster, played more minutes that Vitinha/Neves combined this season and still lasted more than both in the final.

[Gabi Wall @gabi_wall6]

A team that’s already strong is hard enough to beat. When the referee seems to be on their side too, the challenge becomes even greater.

See how referees have carried PSG throughout this season’s UCL.

😱 ¡LA MOVILIZACIÓN FUTBOLÍSTICA MÁS GRANDE DE LA HISTORIA DE INGLATERRA!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 La Policía Metropolitana de Londres confirmó que ¡¡UN MILLÓN Y MEDIO!! de hinchas de Arsenal coparon las calles de la ciudad para celebrar la #PremierLeague obtenida esta temporada

🔝 Una verdadera MAREA GUNNER

Knew the officiating was bad but I didn’t know it was this bad yesterday

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.”

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Hi Kevin, we were celebrating Chelsea finishing 10th in the League, 33 points behind Arsenal, after spending £1 billion on players who wouldn’t get on our bench and whose only European football next season will be on a beach in Marbella. Thanks for asking!

Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:

🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.

The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.

That tells you everything.

Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.

For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.

Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.

Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.

Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.

The jealousy was obvious.

The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.

That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.

The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”

[Rory Talks Football @Rory_Talks_Ball]

The referee from about 30 minutes onwards was bizarre, it was like he was genuinely angry at us for the way we were playing

Even neutrals around us were absolutely baffled by it, so many strange decisions, and simply refereeing us and PSG to 2 different standards

[North Bank Nadim @NorthBankNadim]

The President of PSG. Trying to understand how this is allowed and isn’t a conflict of interest.

Imagine Stan Kroenke sitting on the Premier League board and then handing out medals and lifting the trophy with the Arsenal lads at Palace.

As if non-Arsenal fans wouldn’t riot.

[The Football Era @Footballera0]

Make no mistake, that referee was on a mission.

From the moment Arsenal scored, he changed the way he officiated the match. He switched to being completely biased. He was giving PSG every 50/50 call, every single decision went against Arsenal.

He was absolutely compromised.

[PB @football_pb]

You’ll never seen this referee again. Away to live in Qatar with infinite money. Congratulations on your new generational wealth Daniel Siebert 👏🏻

[Aaron Goldstein @aarongfootball]

The Tottenham players posting on social media because their rivals lost a champions league final (after winning the league) is the exact kind of mentality I want nowhere near my club in a million years. Have some shame.
