Bukayo Saka has played just 356 minutes at this World Cup, but has provided 6 goal contributions 😳
3 goals. 3 assists… Averaged a goal or assist every 59 minutes. Just imagine if he was fully fit all tournament 👏
A goal and an assist for Declan Rice in the first half
Two goals for Bukayo Saka in the first half
An assist for Eberechi Eze in the first half
Almost as if Tuchel should have kept a few of the Arsenal lads on against Argentina…
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.”
🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry: “I don't usually talk about referees, but Arsenal were incredibly unlucky tonight. The penalty incident was clear to me, and the halftime whistle just before a dangerous set-piece was difficult to understand. After that, it felt like every important decision went PSG's way. Arsenal never got the consistency they deserved from the officials. PSG will celebrate the trophy, but the refereeing will be one of the biggest talking points of this final.”
🚨🗣️ Ian Wright BLASTS UEFA and referee Daniel Siebert after Arsenal were denied a late corner before half-time
🗣️ Wright: “I don't understand it. Arsenal are literally setting up for a corner kick and the referee blows for half-time.”
“How can you deny a team an attacking opportunity like that?”
“This is the Champions League, not a Sunday kickabout.”
“If you've allowed the play to reach that point, let the corner be taken.”
“Fans pay money to watch football decided by players, not by unnecessary whistle timings.”
“It's small moments like these that change matches.”
“UEFA needs consistency because supporters and players deserve better.”
In sports, there are winners, and of course there are losers. We ended up on the wrong side of the result today. Congratulations to PSG, with all due respect.
But don't disrespect our players please. Every single one of our players put their bodies on the line until the very last minute. Hincapie even played the whole extra time with a crippled leg.
Every one of them contributed to this journey, and even though the result is not what we wanted, we are proud of them. Keep your heads up and keep fighting!
DON’T YOU DARE ABUSE THOSE WARRIORS.
I AM SO FUCKING PROUD OF ALL OF OUR SQUAD & MANAGER.
I LOVE YOU MORE TODAY THAN I DID YESTERDAY.
FOREVER ARSENAL.
❤️🤍
