Ref tells Saka to hurry up and take the corner with stoppage time up. Saka does his usual slow-walk to run down the clock. The ref calmly waits, and the absolute second Saka gets into position? He blows for half-time.
Absolute cinema. Masterclass game management for a final.
Arsenal got so used to getting away with murder from Premier League refs that when someone actually enforces the rules, they think they’re being robbed.
Credit where it’s due tho, they played some demonic football to get here. But if PL refs weren't so intimidated by Arteta’s touchline tantrums and fooled by their theatrics, Arsenal wouldn’t be parading a PGMOL trophy today.
Justice served in Europe! 🫶🏼
▶️ Take a look at the VAR check that saw Celtic awarded a late penalty at Motherwell for handball.

Tony Bloom on the Celtic v Hearts pitch invasion. "The final whistle hadn't gone so no supporter should be on the pitch. The Hearts players were in danger, one or two got assaulted. It's completely unacceptable behaviour."

The hyperbole on this is ridiculous.
I hate pitch invasions and a few folk who approaching opposition players is unacceptable.
A ‘deplorable, scourge on our country’ - do me a favour.
Looking forward to the next non-Celtic pitch invasion being heralded as ‘amazing scenes’.
💔 The Hearts players couldn't hide their emotions when they returned to Edinburgh yesterday.
They were also still wearing their kits after throwing away the Scottish title in the FINAL MINUTES of the season. 😔
They had led the league for 250 DAYS, only to lose top spot on the final day after Celtic scored a late winner.
It would’ve been Hearts’ first league title in over 60 years — and the first for any club outside Celtic or Rangers since Sir Alex Ferguson’s Aberdeen in 1985.
Football can be beautiful… but sometimes it’s absolutely cruel. 💔
