RIP Ray Hutchinson. A promising playing and coaching career, cut short by injury, illness and opportunity. Supported a childhood friend who did make it and fathered someone who makes a living from the game he loved. He passed last Saturday at the age of just 66. Sleep well dad x.
No right or wrong answer to this of course - I always supported English teams in Europe, but I'm an emotionally attached England fan and of English football fullstop. The UK TV coverage was always very supportive of British teams in Europe so that hasn't changed either.
Good Arsenal gameplan, inevitably more cautious (especially after going ahead early) and they largely defended excellently. But also they just weren’t not technically good enough in attack, especially after the subs, to offer any real goal threat. ⬇️

Everything Jamie says here is how I've felt all season. People saying Arsenal should have changed the way they've played this season against a side as good as PSG are idealists. It brought them the league and brought them the closest they've ever been to the Champions League.
"Arsenal do not have enough quality in attack."
Jamie Carragher reacts to Arsenal losing Champions League final against PSG, saying Mikel Arteta's side need "better attackers" ❌
Still waiting to hear from Arsenal critics what their tactics would have been , bearing in mind the potency of PSG attackers … . put yourself in Arteta’s shoes .. now go ahead with your plan.
Exceptional effort from Arsenal. Nulified the best attacking team in the world. Going second in a shootout in front of PSG fans may just have been the key element.
1-0 to the Arsenal at home did it in 2006, 1-0 does it twenty years on. A club with a proud history of solid defences may see it help them to their best ever season. Four more finals.
