🚨🎙️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 becoming a joke seriously.
Dembele started only 9 league games the whole season.
Dembele played 90mins ONCE all season in the league, and that came in April, yes you read it right, April.
Let me break it down. French Ligue started in August.
Dembele played the first 3 games that month. He got injured and missed 2 months of football, 5 league games in total.
He retuned and played 3 games. In all 3 games, he didn’t accumulate 90mins of football, then he missed the next two games.
He came back again and played two games, he didn’t accumulate 60mins in those two games, then he was out injured again.
Here comes January, he started two league games and one sub. He also started two games in February and out injured again.
He returned in March and came on as a sub twice, those were the only league games he played before international break.
This is where it gets interesting, Dembele plays his FIRST 90mins football in the league in the month of APRIL, this was against Toulouse.
Also, they started resting him from here on because of champions league. The last two games before the Bayern games, Angers & Lorient, Dembele did not play one minute.
He also has 10 goals and 6 assists.
The 8th when it comes to top scorers, there are 4 players on that joint 8th position.
He’s also 8th when it comes to top assist makers, there are 7 other players with 6 assists too.
It’s just unbelievably worrisome that this same player has won the Player of the season award. A player who barely played, a player who only played 90mins once all season.
The PR is so crazy, honestly.
