Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
@atltactico@MrSammyJames The EPL is 100% the best league in Europe right now and it isn’t even remotely close. Like probably the biggest gap ever seen in the history of the sport. The premier league is so far ahead of every single other league. Either way going to Benfica from Fulham is a fine move.
@PatrickBury This is quite possibly the most retarded post I have ever seen. You are beyond pathetic as a reporter and frankly do not deserve a platform for literally anything. Beyond embarrassing.
None of them congratulated us when we won the PL but couldn’t wait to dunk on us now. This is why 80% of premier league teams be playing their World Cup final vs Arsenal while bending over backwards for City
Not an Arsenal fan at all but they were robbed. From the moment the second half kicked off the referee was shocking towards them. It setup PSG’s momentum & made it tougher than the game already was. Something was said to him at HT 100%. Even talking to Gabriel before that penalty
Best club competition in the World and the referee has zero interest in being fair, what’s the point?
Blowing HT during a corner, giving every 50/50 in PSG favour, ignoring the blatant pen on Noni.
Disgusting.
The ref came out for the second half on a mission to engineer a specific result here. Booked Mosquera inside a minute, gave every soft call to heap pressure on Arsenal. Now that.
