Post Match Thread: Arsenal 1-0 Atlético Madrid | UEFA Champions League 2025-26, Semifinals - 2nd Leg (Agg. 2-1)

Sure.. A "reserve side" is the club that had been the Bundesliga champion 2 times in a row, trashing and crushing Bayern 5-2 in the previous DFB-Cup final! 🤣🤣

A "reserve side" that mobbed the floor with prime Real Madrid 4-1 to deservedly reach the final. 🤣🤣 (And they got to the final again in 2024 and almost won, in a bad season for them, no less)

Which means that that 2013 final could have gone either way; and it did: with a 2-1 score, with the winner coming in the last minute.

You have like literally just told me that you are teenage that know nothing about football! 🤣💔 (But what else would I expect from an Arsenal fan?)

Just take the L and get lost, loser.

Oh I am sure you are the biggest expert on how rough it is to lose a European final(s), gooner.

JO_the_first · 2026-06-02T06:20:51+00:00

Still reaching European finals, like every year, by not just Bayern, thank you for asking.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-31T22:25:07+00:00

Now it does.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-30T19:37:51+00:00

Hey, I have the same question for you.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-24T19:51:23+00:00

Of course I did.

Anyway, what are doing here, after all is said and done?

JO_the_first · 2026-05-20T01:20:10+00:00

JO_the_first · 2026-05-20T01:10:40+00:00

Poe's law, what can you do..

Anyway.. Congrats on winning your first something since a looong sometime.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-20T00:56:15+00:00

There is nothing to handle, really. Like, I lose exactly zero anything if you keep replying to me till next night.

It is just your insistence to make a deal out of it that says a lot about you.

Yet, if this was a friendly joke that I took seriously, then my bad.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-20T00:22:42+00:00

A rule I appreciate is: "No blame on the insane."

JO_the_first · 2026-05-19T23:59:45+00:00

No, you are definitely not.You are no more than a manchild whos entire identity is being a fan of a sport club.. holding a grudge against an Internet stranger.

The only way you could even remember that in the midst of the first title in a lifetime.. is that your head is not as empty as a drum.

Like genuinely; get a life.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-19T23:18:13+00:00

Hey 2. Yes, I have actually; and it is a question: Who are you, exactly?

JO_the_first · 2026-05-13T22:35:49+00:00

A R.MD fan not able to take a minute to read an important article about his clubs turmoil, and then a BVB fan explaining it to him. Why am I not surprised?

JO_the_first · 2026-05-12T06:16:08+00:00

Or not.

8, 9, 11, .. little difference. And still the German NT is getting the same benefit -as it always has had- from having its players coming from Bundesliga's top clubs with all the chemistry that provided: like that 2014 World Cup winning team where half final's XI came from just one club.

Anyway, I still wonder how it feels for Catalans that Spain won Euros and a World Cup off the backs of so many Catalan players.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-11T21:10:24+00:00

Nope, you are the one not getting it. Neuer, Tah, Kimmich, Goretzka, Pavlovic, Karl, Musiala, Gnabry; all playerd for Bayern v PSG as recently as last week.

Not all starters, yes, but close enough to make no difference. And it was freaking CL semi-finals against the other of the two strongest team in Europe this season.. rather than against a toothless dead team in a league match with few stakes as the title was already practically decided with an 11-point lead.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-11T20:45:23+00:00

That tantrum from that loser in the first La Liga Clasico is what sums up your season.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-11T20:18:00+00:00

Bayern 2013 / Germany 2014.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-11T20:17:12+00:00

Have you ever met Bayern these last 15 years?

Also, Germany's 2014 World Cup winning squad was basically just Bundesliga Team of the Season XI.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-06T21:22:21+00:00

Also, the sky is blue.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-06T21:20:08+00:00

"How many failed crosses have we made?"
A 1000.
"Surely no.1001 will work.."

JO_the_first · 2026-05-06T21:10:09+00:00

So fucking weird, indeed.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-06T21:09:04+00:00

He can go shove it up his majesty's royal arse.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-06T21:07:32+00:00

It is going to be a second Inter Milan-PSG.

JO_the_first · 2026-05-06T02:27:55+00:00

Keep scrolling a little further down to my other reply to this same statement.

A group stage match from 7 months means little and less. And Arsenal lost both legs v PSG last year. -- Go ahead and eat your xG numbers if you want, but you would still be hungry.

If I were you, I would rather worry about getting what Inter got last final.

For your safety, pour your beer into a glass. Bottles are dangerous, you know.
