To see Spurs and Chelsea fans mocking Arsenal after the seasons they had is beyond parody. We’re the best team in England, and the second best team in Europe. You lot are global laughing stocks.
So pipe down, you wastrels. 🤣
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.”
🚨 Mesut Özil Slams Referee After Arsenal's Controversial Champions League Final Defeat
🗣️: "I have watched football for many years, and I understand that referees can make mistakes. Nobody expects perfection. But tonight, it genuinely felt like Arsenal were fighting against more than just PSG.
The incident involving Madueke was a clear penalty for me. In any other game, anywhere else on the pitch, that contact is given as a foul immediately. I struggle to understand how the referee saw it and decided there was nothing there. Even more surprising was the lack of intervention. Moments like that can completely change a final.
What frustrated me most was the consistency. Every important decision seemed to go against Arsenal. Small fouls were given one way but not the other. Challenges that deserved bookings were ignored. Every 50-50 call appeared to favour PSG. As a player, that is incredibly difficult because you begin to feel that no matter what you do, the decisions are not going your way.
A Champions League final should be decided by the players, the coaches and the football itself, not by controversial refereeing decisions. Arsenal may not have played their best game, but they still deserved a fair opportunity to compete. When such a clear penalty is not awarded, people are always going to ask questions.
I feel sorry for the players because they worked all season to reach this stage. You can accept losing when the better team wins fairly, but it is much harder to accept when major decisions leave a cloud over the result. For me, Arsenal deserved that penalty on Madueke, and they deserved much better from the officials tonight."
🚨 Michael Owen ahead of tonight’s Champions League final:
🗣️ “I think a lot of rival fans, especially in England, will be backing PSG tonight.
Not because they’re huge PSG supporters, but because they simply don’t want to see Arsenal lift the Champions League trophy.
That’s football rivalry for you.
Some fans would rather watch a foreign club win Europe’s biggest competition than see their fiercest domestic rivals celebrating it.
And in many ways, that tells you how far Arsenal have come.
When rival supporters are praying for your downfall, it usually means you’re doing something right.”
That is so so cruel. Gabriel didn’t deserve that. We didn’t deserve that.
I’m sad, but I’m so proud of this team.
Champions of England, we go again next season.
2025/26 you’ve been a joy. Over and out.
Gabriel Magalhães. One kick does not define you. Unbelievable across 120 minutes tonight, and stellar all season long. We stick together - in the good times and the bad.
Football can be extremely cruel, but I am so, so proud of this group of players. A special season that I will never forget. So proud. Today isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning. ❤️
You really can’t understand what this Premier League title means to an Arsenal fan unless you’ve lived through the last two decades with them.
This is a fanbase that watched their club go from Invincibles to years of banter, financial restrictions, stadium debt, constant ridicule, losing big players, finishing outside the top four, and becoming the punchline of football conversations online. An entire generation of Arsenal fans grew up hearing stories about league titles instead of actually experiencing one themselves. Went from being utter joke, losing 8-2, 6-0 to Chelsea. Mourinho called their coach a Specialist in Failure.
Some Arsenal fans were children the last time this club won the league. Some are adults now with jobs, families and responsibilities, and this is their first real moment of seeing Arsenal crowned champions. That emotional gap matters. This is not just “another title” to them, it feels like closure after years of patience.
And the journey makes it even more emotional. This wasn’t bought instantly. Mikel Arteta inherited a broken squad, a disconnected atmosphere and a club many people thought had lost its elite standards permanently. Arsenal finished 8th twice. People laughed at the project, laughed at the process, laughed at the signings, laughed at the young players. Every setback became viral content.
But the club stayed committed. The fans stayed committed too.
They watched young players like Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Martin Ødegaard and others grow from prospects into leaders. They endured title races that ended in heartbreak. They watched rivals celebrate while being told Arsenal were “soft” or “not serious”.
So when this title finally arrives, it’s not just celebration, it’s release. Years of frustration leaving at once.
That’s why the emotions look different. Arsenal fans are not celebrating like a club that wins the league every other season. They’re celebrating like people who waited years to feel respected again. Like supporters who defended their club through every difficult era and are finally seeing belief rewarded.
And honestly, that’s what makes football beautiful sometimes. The long waits make the moments hit harder.
