Obviously gross, but Arsenal famously have never employed and supported a rapist either

 

...and someone just got hit by a stray ball on the Danube.

 

They luckily didn't win anything with him though.

 

Yeah that was worse imo.

 

I can’t stand it when players stutter step that much for it. Just shoot the ball.

 

Feel for Eze. Seems a good lad. His DMs are going to be predictably horrendous with the absolute worst people I'm sure too...

 

Raya save was great in the shootout but Eze’s stupid run up was killer in the end. Surprised Gabriel took the last, would be querying the gut of some of the other Arsenal players on the pitch

 

Shouldn't need to be said, but I hope the Arsenal community rally around to support Gabriel instead of going down the opposite direction that no doubt some cretins will.

 

I will say it’s a bit funny after PSG having like four controversial penalty/not penalty moments vs Bayern… the only way they could make it across the finish line was more of the same.

 

I’d hope winning the league softens the blow as far as the bullshit from fans like that

 

Same with PSG. 3 defenders. Don’t really like that

 

Poor gabby. Weird for it to fall on a CB

 

If there’s one silver lining for Arsenal fans it’s that Piers Morgan is probably crying right now

 

I should be clear I don't wish anything ill on him. Just frustrating to see a quality player do something so poor.

 

Eze should have stayed at Palace, he could have won a European trophy

 

That was one of the better finals in awhile. One of the more consistently intense low scoring games I’ve seen.

 

I’ve seen him miss a couple of penalties like that at Palace last season. I joked to my mates before the shootout that he shouldn’t take a penalty, hoping he wouldn’t actually take one.

Only Arsenal player I’m genuinely gutted for because he’s the nicest guy in the world

 

Not that it makes it any easier to swallow for Arsenal fans, but they were in no point the worse team in the match and I think that if Timber and Calafiori are fully healthy, y’all probably easily win that one.

 

I honestly think Eze approaches pens like he approaches one of his chess games.

 

I’d also say this sets up pretty well for Arsenal to win CL next year. They finally won the league title. Came super close to CL. Next season the pressure of winning PL will be lessened and the experience they have from this CL run will result in them winning it.

 

Stats aren't pretty reading for Arsenal like. Less than 200 passes over 120 minutes, 1 shot on target, 25% possession, and time wasting from the 6th minute onwards. Got to wonder if they'd won if they'd been a bit more positive...

 

I’m with you on this but really don’t want to gloss over the Visit Rwanda sponsored club that employed and supported a rapist while also firing staff over pro Palestine posts

 

Really fun final for the neutrals I think. I feel for the arsenal fans, brutal way to lose.

 

I was thinking this too. Any time they went forward they looked threatening. But I also get being nervous to open up for that PSG attack.

 

I was actually waiting for England to break my heart with penalties, but fairs it came early.
