There is no secret.
Consistency over intensity.
Small wins instead of chasing heroic efforts.
Progress beats perfection.
Solid work. Repeated for a long time. That's it.
I’m so so happy but yesterday is also going to stay in my mind for ages 😔
We were so so close. So close.
We will be back. But it just could have easily happened yesterday

Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.
Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.
I recognise my football club again.
🚨Rice “Mikel is gutted but he spoke about how much he loves us. I think we have come so far as a club. When I came to this club it was a QF exit then a Semi Final exit and now a final exit. One more step and we go again.
One thing about us, this wont define us.
We will be back”
Heartbreak. The worst way to lose. But what a season it’s been. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Give these champions the support and reception they deserve around the streets of north London.
Gabriel's a man who steps up for the big moments, who relishes pressure. He strikes a ball pretty well too. Plenty of defenders score penalties, including Beraldo and Hakimi. Let's not go down the nonsense route of why didn't x player take it.
Will ride with this team and these players for the rest of my life. Gabriel has saved our ass so many times this season - the block on Calum Wilson - comes to mind so now it’s our time to show him and the rest of the boys our support & appreciation tomorrow.

Gutting way to lose a final especially for Gabriel who had such a good game- tough one because I hate the stutter run ups subjectively but pens are a difficult one to be objective on.
Proud of the way we played that final just wish we had a bit more consistency in transition.
Even the dumbest dog learns from failure. If you are not smart but just try to do things and keep doing things even after you fail, you will learn every single thing you need to become successful over time.
Therefore, your IQ is not your limitation. Your character is.
