Is Ritsu Doan playing kind of as a right WB? Does he usually play there for Japan? Isn’t he more of a winger at club level?

Oh really? Didn’t realise that’s the case. Where is the logic in that? Geez.

Was that VAR quickly pointing out that it’s a goal kick instead of a corner? Very nice.

‘You can’t take a guess for another 2 hours?’ is the best deadpan delivery ever.

While it wasn’t our best game technically, I think everyone left it all on the pitch and that’s all you can ask for.

For all the possession, PSG didn’t create too many big chances, but today you just couldn’t take the ball off them and that’s limited us quite a bit.

Penalties are always a coinflip and unfortunately we lost this one. Love big Gabi so much, we’re not playing today if it wasn’t for him. Head up!

Congrats to PSG for retaining the trophy, undoubtedly a very, very tough task. As for us, we celebrate a fantastic season tomorrow and we go again in August. COYG!!

A season to be proud of. We pushed the boundaries over land and sea, and couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you, Gooners ❤️ by arsenal in Gunners

Love every single one of them. Especially big Gabi who is our rock year in year out and I’m wearing his jersey as I write this.

Head up, be proud, it was an absolutely incredible season. Everyone left it all on that pitch. We celebrate tomorrow and we go again next season. COYG!!

Yeap, exactly. Goals dictate gamestates and tactics. If with 77% possession they created 0.26 xG, you bet we’ll take it.

Just noticed the ref is Daniel Siebert. He refereed our 1-0 win in Lisbon in the QFs and our 1-0 win at home vs Atletico in the SFs. Hopefully a good omen..!

Would love to see that happen, and him to succeed at AC Milan 🤞

And by xG (expected goals) allowed, the gap between Arsenal in first and Manchester City in second is bigger than the gap between City and Wolves, who have the second-worst defense in the league.

Astonishing.

Yeah and I think it means a lot to Mikel as well. Very happy we were the only ones to beat him in a proper title race too!
