Saturday was the most watched Champions League final in history (UK) with 23m total viewers. Smashes the previous record held by Liverpool when they played Real Madrid in 2022.
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.”
I think we won't win the Champions league Saturday. Timber is not fit even if he starts and if he doesn't 🫣 I hope he will not put Rice RB or Zubi. Kvava will destroy us. I personally would put Calafiori there but it's not my job. Trust in arteta
Just now I want city to get relegated now and punishment. We won the league against the cheats by 7 points. And Liverpool won too plus others. Makes our achievements even better. Now do it!
@themagic_tophat English football is dead for good if City don’t get a massive whip of the law equivalent to what they have stolen, Abudhabi may as well buy the rest of the 19 clubs and choke oil into them. EPL has to be serious for it’s stand in WF won’t recover
One day, we all will realise Arteta’s greatest achievement wasn’t the title itself.
It was making millions of fans emotionally connected to Arsenal Football Club again before winning it.
That changes a club forever.
Held my cool this year always saying city will do it... Waiting for us to beat the cheats now I want the PL to punish them. Feels great to beat the country club breaking the rules
