🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney: “Arsenal have been robbed tonight” 🤯
Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.
But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.
PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”
🚨🗣️ | Thierry Henry on Manchester City vs Brentford: 💣
“You see, I look at the screen, I see those two penalty incidents... I see the challenge from Bernardo Silva where he stays on the pitch with only a yellow... and I have to tell you, if I speak, I am in big, big trouble. I’m serious. Because if I explain to you what my eyes are seeing and how this game ended for Brentford, I won’t be sitting in this chair tomorrow. People talk about the 'big teams' and the 'small teams,' but the game has to be the game. I’m not going to say it. I’m not going to use the word. But we all saw it. You saw it, I saw it, the fans saw it. So I stay quiet, because if I open my mouth... yeah, I am in big trouble”
