As a follow up - it carried on into post match, implied that they’ve ‘gambled on youth’ and got rid of superstars. No, they hoovered up big talent across football with transfers and paid them a king’s ransom. Highest wage bill in Europe. Zaire-Emery and Kimpembe are their only academy players.

I’m all for PSG being praised for their football; it’s exciting, dynamic and relentless, they will be worthy UCL champions. But Ferdinand spouting that this is a ‘win for football and youth’ as though they’re an academy team of misfits plucked from obscurity is frankly absurd. #sportswashing

Having a strange sliding doors sense of loss today for the alternate universe where I’ve done a 734 mile road trip to the Allianz Arena tonight. Next season, 30th May 2026, we’re at the Puskás arena Arsenal and all you Gooners out there, next season. Keep the faith 💪🏻 #COYG #northlondonforever 🔴 ⚪️

The game everyone wanted the other final to be as well, and result obviously. Fantastic performance, went toe to toe with giants today 💪🏻. Congratulations to Arsenal Women, Champions of Europe!! 👸 🇪🇺 🔴 ⚪️ #coyg

Don’t know what Arsenal changed at half time but thank god we did. Delighted to beat Newcastle; think my most despised team currently Interesting message from Arteta; be proud of what we did given circumstances. Don’t disagree but but no ✍️ in Jan cost us, self-inflicted? Big Summer ahead 💪🏻 #COYG

My entirely partisan grieving opinion is that Arsenal were better than PSG for 150 minutes of the tie and by quite some distance deserved to go through. But as has been the story of our season, we don’t take our chances. There’s a universe in which we won that tie about 5-0, sadly just not our one

Arsenal have shown in the first half that we will create the chances to score 2 goals. We just simply have to do it We’ve been phenomenal and deserve to be level in the tie, ahead when you take into account the first leg. Let’s have the best 45 minutes of our lives, put the ball in the net. #coyg 💪🏻

Listening to North London Forever as they walk out. COME THE FUCK ON YOU GUNNERS! LET’S DO IT!

It’s ok Gooners, I’ve checked what the result tonight will be using the notoriously accurate football simulator FC25; 6-0 with Rice to score 4 ⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️ Now to put a bet on it 😂 #COYG 🔴 ⚪️

So what’s everyone doing for the next 11 hours and 18 minutes? Think I’ll do some menial chores whilst having random bouts of nausea and fluttering in my chest 😂 🤢 Saw enough from Arsenal in the 1st leg to say we have a chance, think that’s what makes it worse! I believe! Let’s have ‘em #coyg 💪🏻 🔴 ⚪️

The laws of physics say that was handball. But honestly who cares anymore in the Prem, usual bullshit! #ARSBOU

Am I mad in thinking this is a penalty by the way? Neves’ left leg clearly makes contact with Merino’s shooting leg before Neves then wins the ball with his right foot. In real time from the Clock End I said ‘he must have gone through him to get the ball.’ I’m right no? #coyg #arsenal

I’m frustrated but strangely hopeful after that. PSG were done after 25 mins and Arsenal learnt how to play them. If we’d taken our chances it’s 2-1, thank you very much, see you in Paris Hope we accept PSG energy/press will be massive to start 2nd leg, play over it then move #COYG 💪🏻 🔴⚪️

Whilst I accept the league is absolutely zero priority now bar Arsenal ensuring they limp to 2nd place, not sure that playing horrendously is the best way to warm up for a Champions League semi. We might be embracing the inconsequential nature of these games a little too much… Focus up now. #coyg

The power of BlueSky! Both tickets SOLD, thank you Gooners for your reposts and likes to get those seats filled. To the two who took the tickets, hope you have a great night at the game! Now let’s go smash Palace 💪🏻 #coyg #arsenalfamily

Goodly morning Gooners - a fresh advertisement for my ONE remaining ticket to Palace tonight. It’s not selling on ticket exchange and I don’t want an empty seat; never happened on my tickets before! Available at ‘mates rate’, must have an Arsenal membership number. DM me! #coyg #arsenalfamily

To add - TWO tickets for Arsenal vs Palace tomorrow night, sorry should have said in the original post. #ARSPAL #coyg

Calling all gooners, I can’t go tomorrow night and am struggling to shift my tickets on ticket exchange for Palace. If anyone fancies them at a ‘mates rate’ then DM me! Need an Arsenal membership number so I can transfer easily Cheers 🍻

Mikel Merino is the person you worked with for six months, before you woke up one day and realised that you are actually totally in love with them

Rarely do I say this but good refereeing by Kavanagh/VAR. It’s a disgusting challenge; intent to cause serious injury. Very pleased to see that given as a red, good riddance. Aside from that lovely start from Arsenal. 2nd goal especially and that Merino touch 😮‍💨 🔥 Saka key as ever #COYG

Words fail for me for how phenomenal Arsenal were. To make Madrid so impotent whilst also maintaining such a threat. Wow. Deserved to win both games, could have by more. Rice is doing special things, world class. Onto the semis 💪🏻 #UCL #COYG Ps. Saka you were just practising with the pen! 😂

And BREATHE. Penalty madness aside, Madrid were reduced to lumping the ball into the box. WE. ARE. GARGANTUAN. Arsenal need to believe in ourselves more in the final 1/3. Our players seem shocked by the amount of space they have, take it, punish them! 💪🏻 🔴⚪️ #COYG Ps. #nomorepanenkas please ⭐️ boy!

Would it to be fair to say that the majority of fear tonight is less of the possibility of the turnaround and more about the ignominy narrative that would follow if it did? Think that’s partly where my head’s at anyway. Regardless, feel sick 🤢 But I believe in us! 💪🏻 #COYG 🔴 ⚪️

I find premier league ‘title race’ narrative completely insipid at this point. Think it’s fair to say Liverpool have taken all the steps they need towards the title now unless they achieve an all time bottling. Bigger fish to fry, run outs and hopefully no injuries 🤞 Onto the Bernabéu 💪🏻 #COYG

Rayainho rolled out to Riceinho who dribbles the length of the pitch and lays it off to Parteynelli 😍 What a lovely counter attacking goal #ARSBRE #COYG

WORD SALAD EUPHORIA. You’ve only come to see the Arsenal, we got him half price, Merinoooooo. Stunning. Magical. Wonderful. Arsenal FC, we’re by far the greatest team the world has ever seen. Madrid got BATTERED! Rational thought can wait, drink it in Gooners. Fucking incredible ⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️ #COYG

So excited today, what a time to be an Arsenal fan. Back on the biggest stage in the knockouts against Real Madrid. I believe in us 💪🏻 As Ian Wright said on @arseblog.com ‘As a player, you’re going in and… this is *the game*’ Gooners if you’re gonna be there tonight, let’s make it LOUD! 🔴⚪️ #COYG

This refereeing decision is worthy of the old round in Question of Sport ‘what happened next?’ Ie. an essentially impossible sequence of events follows an initial video clip/image There is no further contact from this point onwards and a penalty was given against MLS. Total fucking shambles #pgmol

Stodgy but Arsenal did more than enough to win the game, good for all relevant players to get minutes pre Madrid We were denied by a horror show of refereeing. Best league in the world; refs can’t tell time, give phantom fouls/pens, fail to 2nd yellow twice. Garbage #nochoice #evears #coyg #pgmol

There’s so much wrong with that decision that it’s actually impossible to take it/this game/the premier league seriously anymore. 1. Any foul inside the box was by Harrison on MLS. 2. It simply isn’t a foul in the first place 3. If you were calling that a foul by MLS it’s clearly outside the box

Made up for it though! Lovely finish and somewhat unexpected from there Everton probably a bit off but a pleasantly surprising half; we deservedly lead. Arsenal have looked sharp and created nice situations, though have continued a theme this season of not converting them into chances #COYG #EVEARS

That was poor from Trossard, has to result in at least a shot. Nwaneri was the pass

Lovely to be back at the Emirates to see the return of the Starboy ⭐️ Was a pretty turgid affair before that, noticeable how simply Saka’s aura and presence lifted our attack - Martinelli in particular was transformed and had a great 2nd half Hope injury news isn’t too painful 😬 #ARSFUL #COYG
