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.”
Mikel Arteta speaks to the players in a meeting after winning the Premier League… ❤️🏆
🗣️ “You have sent a message to sport, to football, to a lot of people, how you win & how you deserve to win something. It’s in your heart, your soul, your values.” 😤
@Carra23 Good to see sky n Carragher not Henry doing this for the integrity of the sport n not going with the narrative route. Showing the people what is n isnt a foul, getting evidence showing the difference is massive because everyone thinks they understand the game but clearly doesnt
The foul on David Raya was obvious & is nothing like some of the goals Arsenal have scored from corners!
Arsenal were pulled up three years ago at Leicester for holding the goalkeepers arm!!

I just wanna talk about Saka more man, every time he got the ball surrounded by 2/3 Bayern players, I had no worries he was controlling and gaining advantage, he’s so smart, he’s so controlled, he has such good fundamentals, amazing watch
