Arsenal have confirmed that "discussions are ongoing" with regard to Thomas Partey's future at the club. The midfielder's contract expires at the end of this month but he wants to stay. Mikel Arteta wants him to stay, too. #AFC

PSG have owned the Champions League final in a way that no team has done since Guardiola’s Barcelona (2009/2011). Football is evolving every year but, when it works like this, this style of play is still the pinnacle. Technical ability and tactical bravery above everything else.

Arteta on Calafiori: “We have pushed Ricky a lot to make sure he was fit for the last few games. He was two or three weeks ahead of schedule with his injury. He wasn’t comfortable in the last week or two. We decided to give him a break.” #AFC

A little later than expected, perhaps, but Arsenal have finally guaranteed qualification for the Champions League. That gives complete financial clarity, at last. Let the spending begin...!

Stat from Opta: Declan Rice has now scored more goals for Arsenal (16 in 102 games) than he did for West Ham (15 in 245 games)

Arsenal have plugged some of the gaps in midfield since the break and it has allowed them to build some momentum. Rice once again showing the value of having a pop from range... Arsenal's last two goals have come from players being willing to do that.

Newcastle are finding gaps all over the Arsenal midfield. So much of Arsenal's defensive structure is built on being compact but there are huge spaces between the lines.

Arsenal are finishing this game with Calafiori at right-back, Tierney at left-wing and Martinelli at centre-forward. Three players out of position. And with 10 men.

So much is made of the power of Anfield, and rightly so, but that power can work both ways. Arsenal have been very good in this second half but the mood really shifted when Alexander-Arnold came on (and was then booed in possession)

Would help Arsenal's cause if they didn't repeatedly get caught from behind whenever they reach the edge of Liverpool's penalty area. It's happened at least four times in this first half.

When Arsenal lost to Bayern in 2024, they knew they didn't have enough quality in attack. A year later, they played PSG with even fewer attacking options. It's obvious but the failed hunt for a forward has been so costly. Arteta's project hinges on getting it right this summer.

Donnarumma is a monster. Arteta screamed at the floor in frustration when he saved that Saka strike.

The way Kvaratskhelia has worked back to defend Saka over these two legs... relentless. Not the sort of thing Neymar used to do at this club.

Jorginho has spent the entire first half on the touchline. I think he's pretending to be warming up (a couple of calf stretches here, a few lunges there) but he's really just coaching his #AFC team-mates.

Gianluigi Donnarumma with two brilliant saves in the opening eight minutes. PSG are yet to leave their own half. Fabulous start by #AFC but it's going to require something pretty special to beat the big Italian bloke in goal.
