🚨🎙️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.”
I dreamt about that block from Calafiori yesterday!! It’s not Normal. It’s MADNESS! Coming from a week where Gabriel Magalhaes was using his head to defend a ball that’s meant for the body 🤯!
Opposition fans will not understand when they see Arsenal fans celebrate defenders that love Defending and can actually defend!! They don’t know we survived Mustafi that nearly send me to a Mental home! Sokratis that’s a fake Greek god! There was Squillaci that plays football like his face! And there was Holding that intentionally gave the Title to Manchester city years ago!!
We went thru the real Kolomental phase and some of us even gave up thinking it was a curse! So when you see Arsenal fans celebrate defenders.. do the best thing and join in the celebrations.
