Arsenal have set the record for the lowest possession percentage for a team playing in a Champions League final (since records began in 2003-04).
The previous lowest record was also Arsenal, set in the 2006 Champions League final, which they played 72 minutes with 10 men.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez:
“We received a letter today demanding that Lamine Yamal be suspended because he raised the Palestinian flag yesterday during the celebrations of FC Barcelona. I think this is something laughable — asking me to suspend a player simply for raising the Palestinian flag.
I believe FIFA should instead be contacted to prevent you from participating in football because of what you have been doing for more than three years: systematic killing and genocide carried out in the most horrific ways.
Lamine Yamal will be honored, and this flag will become an icon of celebrations in the streets of Spain from today onward.”
I am not interested in climbing any corporate ladders. I don't care about job titles. I don't need recognition or fame. I just want to have an income to fund my lifestyle, not be depressed, help other people, and be around good humans.
🚨Jose mourinho on Manchester United and Michael Carrick :
“At Manchester United, the problem is not always the players, not always the results—it is sometimes the decisions. Too many times the club looks outside for answers, chasing big names, big reputations, but football is not about reputation, it is about understanding.
Michael Carrick understands this club. He doesn’t need time to learn what Manchester United is—he already knows. He has been inside the dressing room, he has won everything there is to win, and he knows what the fans expect when they walk into Old Trafford.
You can bring in managers with big CVs, with big egos, but if they don’t understand the soul of the club, they will always struggle. Carrick has something you cannot teach—connection.
So for me, it is simple: instead of making another ‘clever’ decision, maybe the club should make the obvious one… and finally trust one of their own.”
Wayne Rooney left Everton, joined Manchester United, got married, had three kids, won 16 trophies, lost his hair, got a transplant, became Man United’s all-time top goalscorer.
Went back to Everton, moved to MLS, came back and managed Derby, got relegated, went to Birmingham and got sacked, went to Plymouth and got sacked again, became a pundit… and in all that time, Arsenal still haven’t won either the Premier League or UCL😭
I’m not really interested in hearing about why people think he should’ve been sacked.
The fact is, the REASON why Ruben Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United isn’t even to do with results on the pitch.
And that’s a dangerous precedent to set.
3 Sprint Myths That Won’t Die
1️⃣ “You run on your toes.”
You don’t. Sprinters strike through the ball of the foot with a dorsiflexed, pre activated ankle that’s ready to handle force. The heel drops slightly to load the Achilles for elastic recoil… it’s a reflexive,
