Once it made it to the penalties, I knew Arsenal lost the match. PSG did just enough. Congrats.

I'm sick after this, and I'm a Leeds fan. I can't stand these Saudi-oil manufactured clubs, winning a farmers league in a stroll then arriving fresh and dandy to face a real club in a CL final. Arsenal played 63 matches this season, most of them in the toughest league in the world. Some PSG players played more CL than league matches, cos the league was over soon as the oil poured in..

Arsenal was just too passive though...almost 80-20 possession for PSG. That will not do. You have to initiate a little.

Yeah, but I think that’s their style, solid in defence. They’re not the most entertaining, but you’re right, best form of defence is attack.

PSG weren’t too impressive either…

True but with PSG's style of play, they pretty much guarantee the other team will not score. So they are happy passing the ball around and look to see if they can find a break. You cannot score if you don't have the ball.

In some ways the worst thing for Arsenal was to score so early. There was a long time to go, hard work playing that great strangling style. If they’d won it would have been reminiscent of great Italian style defending masterclasses. Overall, wasn’t a match for the neutrals. Let’s hope the World Cup is one for the ages..!
