4 - England have progressed to the semi-final in four major tournaments since 2018 (WC/Euro), as many as they had reached in their history prior to the 2018 World Cup (4).

It was also his first-ever goal in the knockout stages of the World Cup.
Breakthrough.

Capable.

🤝 32 assists
Relentless.

One team came to play football. One came to spoil the game.
0 - Jurriën Timber has the lowest dribbled past percentage of any @Arsenal outfielder in both the UEFA Champions League (0%) and Premier League this season (9.5%).

Antidote?
Arsenal have set the record for the lowest possession percentage for a team playing in a Champions League final (since records began in 2003-04).
The previous lowest record was also Arsenal, set in the 2006 Champions League final, which they played 72 minutes with 10 men.
The issue with tonight isn’t that Arsenal lost, it’s the way they lost with 23% possession. It’s criminal.
Had they gone toe-to-toe with PSG, playing the game properly, I can guarantee the neutral would have far more respect for Arsenal but they were unwilling to engage whatsoever.
Arsenal have not only stained their club but have left a long lasting impact on the way the Premier League is perceived.
24.7% - Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a UEFA Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Mikel Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout. Reactive.
