According to reports, a move for Christos Tzolis won't stop Arsenal's pursuit of Morgan Rogers and Bradley Barcola 📰
Arsenal are not messing around this summer 😳🔴
25 - There were 25 passes in the build-up to Hwang In-Beom's goal for 🇰🇷 Korea Republic last night, their most ever in the lead up to a goal scored in FIFA World Cup history.
Methodical.
🚨Arsenal have reached an agreement on personal terms with Jeremy Monga, with the 16-year-old making Arsenal his preferred destination despite interest from several other clubs.
Andrea Berta held talks with Monga’s representatives and outlined a development plan similar to the pathway being followed by Max Dowman at the club. [@HandofArsenal]
42:48 - Arsenal have only been behind for a total of 42 minutes and 48 seconds in the @ChampionsLeague this season; the lowest total of any side.
The Gunners' total match time in this edition is 1354:20, meaning they've been behind for just 3% of their games.
Resolve.
1 - Gabriel Magalhães is the first player to hit a penalty over the crossbar in a #UCLfinal penalty shootout since Milan's Serginho in 2005 (v Liverpool).
It was the first penalty the Brazilian had ever taken for Arsenal.
Unfortunate.
🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney: “Arsenal have been robbed tonight” 🤯
Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.
But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.
PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”
This is the 13th European Cup/UEFA Champions League final to go to a penalty shootout; at least one English side has been involved in five of the last six. 👀
