🗣️ "Three points is three points, I'm so happy. We've not scored for ages from a direct set-piece, so it was nice to score tonight from one of them."

This guy was a f*cking monster tonight - just magnificent from start to finish. They can give all the awards they like to people in losing teams who win nothing but @_DeclanRice is the player every other team *really* wants. He’s been absolutely brilliant all season.
🚨🗣️ | Diego Simeone on Arsenal:
“Arsenal have evolved into a team that demands your absolute soul for ninety minutes. After what we saw in this last game, their verticality and the way they occupy space it is uncomfortable. They have that 'hunger' again. People talk about tactics, but I saw a group of players willing to suffer for each other, and that is when a team becomes truly dangerous. I wouldn't want to underestimate Arsenal; if you take your eyes off them for a second, they will tear the heart out of your structure."
To every Arsenal fan,
I don’t even know where to begin but I have to say I’m sorry.
What happened yesterday is on me. One moment, one decision and it changed everything. I’ve replayed it over and over in my head and it hurts knowing I let the team and every single one of you down.
I know what this club means. I know what it means to fight for every point, every position, every dream. And in a moment where we needed composure, I made the wrong choice. There are no excuses for that.
Seeing the disappointment, the anger, I understand it. Honestly I feel it too. Probably even more. Because when you wear this badge, you carry millions with you and yesterday I didn’t carry it the way I should have.
All I can promise is this I won’t hide. I won’t shy away from it. I will take it, learn from it and use it. Because moments like this either break you or build you and I refuse to let it break me.
I will come back stronger. For the team. For this club. For you.
I’m truly sorry.
