📰 Kieran McKenna will step down as Ipswich Town Manager after five seasons at the club.
Kieran has made the decision to step away from football management and dedicate time to his family, having been at the forefront of one of the most successful eras in the club’s history.
🚨🎙️ Jamie Carragher on the Madueke incident (PSG 1-1 Arsenal, UCL Final extra time):
“That challenge on Madueke… come on, it’s in no way a foul! The lad’s gone in, he’s gone for the ball, bit of contact, that’s football!
But what the camera clearly shows is Madueke pulling his arm — he’s wrapped his arm around Nuno Mendes, pulling him down, trying to con the referee and VAR!
He’s dragging him with him! He should be getting a yellow card for simulation, not rolling around like he’s been fouled.
And this is the problem — Arsenal have been doing this all season! Madueke’s been at it, they’ve been pushing the boundaries with these theatrics, trying to buy penalties left, right and centre. That’s taking the game away from the honest defenders. No way that’s a penalty, no way. Ref and VAR got that absolutely spot on!”
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.
