I’d like to see this applied in the Premier League as well. All teams btw. The referee clearly told him to hurry up a little bit & Saka proceeded to walk even slower. Guarantee you he would’ve taken another 40 seconds just to take the corner. Ref said “aight no corner then” 🤷🏾♂️
Ref tells Saka to hurry up and take the corner with stoppage time up. Saka does his usual slow-walk to run down the clock. The ref calmly waits, and the absolute second Saka gets into position? He blows for half-time.
Absolute cinema. Masterclass game management for a final.
Arsenal got so used to getting away with murder from Premier League refs that when someone actually enforces the rules, they think they’re being robbed.
Credit where it’s due tho, they played some demonic football to get here. But if PL refs weren't so intimidated by Arteta’s touchline tantrums and fooled by their theatrics, Arsenal wouldn’t be parading a PGMOL trophy today.
Justice served in Europe! 🫶🏼
Funniest thing from the game. Arsenal got a corner kick. They were taking their usual 15 minutes to crowd the goalkeeper. The referee said that’s enough and blew the half time whistle.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruno Fernandes explaining why he loses the ball is pure tactical gold in that interview. He literally said his job is a risk-reward equation. If Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro are playing safe to build up, someone has to absorb the burden of taking risks to break the defensive lines. Stop using basic stats to judge a genius or you can sha. We no send una again.
