if u get to the final...
Still too early to scream victory for Arsenal but what a giant step foward to potentially get into the demi at the very least. Hope they keep this momentum and manage to get through, it would certainly help people change their perception as well on them.
As predicted its Arsenal vs PSG and Inter vs Barca
The final will be Arsenal vs Inter but I want barca to make the final so we can complete our revenge and they are easier than Inter who already beat us this season.
We struggle against teams who defend like Inter but do well against teams who attack like barca.
Barça are not in their best form at the moment, especially in defence. A semi-final with them would be a better chance.
History suggests we will win the UCL.
The last 5 UCL finals that were played in Munich were won by teams who never won the UCL before.
The teams who knock out madrid go on to win the UCL.
Exciting prospect all around, we are sure not to have any champion from the last 9 editions, as a neutral, that is alway more interesting.
Despite the high level of optimism around Barca and PSG, I do think Arsenal and Inter project as a team are more complete and I do believe they should be favorite, despite propably having a bit less quality in term of individuality. I also think that Inter quick and lethal counter attacking playstyle is perfect against Barca offensive style and their high line.
As for Real, I still cannot believe they were propably the worst team of the final 8, it certainly look to me like they pulled a PSG last summer, focusing on star by bringing him M'bappe despite not really needing him and failing to replace older player and key player that left. They need an actual Kroos replacement and some defensive players to reinforce their depth especially considering how injury prone some of their key player are.
PSG were the easiest team we could face before the final and we still ruined it. Partey was a major loss especially when Arteta decided to play merino in midfield instead of leaving him upfront and playing zinchenko there.
That was a typical performance that Arsenal fans have been subjected to this season in the premier league, but we did it in the UCL!
Arteta's career summed up from him being scared to make any attacking changes until there was no risk in the 90th min bringing on nwaneri way too late.
It was clear we wasn't going anywhere with the lineup but Arteta is like this he's not a manager with a plan B he needs to be sacked asap.
Now we need to win by 2 goals because donnaruma is the best at penalties and raya is awful they will win on pens if we just win by 1 goal.
Inter or barca will win the tournament
PSG is a different team now compared to the start of the season. No divas and a team full of quality players. All that was needed was some time to get the team together.
I am very impressed with what L Enrique have achieved with this team.
@Footy I think you are far too harsh, PSG are a good team that play a style of football similar to your own. For me, it feel like it was alway gonna be 50-50 between the two of you. Unfortunate for you but they are the one who managed to bury their chance.
@Pelle Its incredible how well implemented the style of Luis Enrique is right now at PSG. It definetly took some time but now, the team is all pulling in the same direction and its great to see.
For me though, the tie is clearly not over, obviously, PSG has the advantage but they need to stay focused or they might be in for a bad surprise.
We came out like psg did at the Emirates but the difference was we didn't take our chances. After 25min it was game over.
It was obvious to me that skelly was having his worst game after 20min but Arteta stuck with him until he gave away a penalty. Typical Arteta taking off a player after making a game changing mistake.
Arteta's game plan was long throws and set pieces after 5.5yrs at Arsenal in the semi final 2nd leg of the UCL. How any fan can think hes a good manager is a wonder. After the game he said we were the better team, he's an arrogant coward manager who doesn't see his mistakes, I wouldn't want him even if I was a fan of a small team.
Psg showed this is the best team they've had in the UCL even better than when they had the goats neymar and messi. Instead of a team of individuals they are a proper team now with a top manager.
Originally I thought Inter would easily win the final but now it looks like PSG will have a good chance.
PSG has its work cut out for it against Inter. Despite the goal fest against Barca, they have a solid defense and are used to holding in blocks for their counterattacks. PSG will have more of the ball, but they won't enjoy that space behind the backline like they did against Barca. I do see way more patience and composure with this PSG team, and they are playing as a full team and not just individuals.
Inter will have their hands full for sure and have to absorb a lot of pressure, but they are used to that. I do fear that they won't be as clinical as they were in the lead-up to the final, and their chances might be harder to come by.
However, never say never in football! I hope to see a good match and congrats to either team as it is very much well deserved.
@DarthFooty Honestly, Inter defense isn't bad but for me but its not their strongest point, they are actually a very offensive team, which is rare for an Italian team, I know but its definetly true in their case. I have to agree that they might have trouble being as clinical as they were against Barca, especially with the pressure of playing a final and having to beat an in-form Donnaruma.
Honestly, I do think Inter have the psychological edge in that game however because of their sheer amount of experience at this level. Two year ago, most of their players were already playing for them in the lost final against City. Meanwhile, PSG has shown especially against Aston Villa that they can sometime lost control of a game they should have put to bed, they also have a lot of young players who never been at this level.
It should be a good final and PSG might have the best individual quality but I wouldn't look down on Inter experience and teamwork.
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Ici c’est Paris!!!
No Mbappé
No Messi
No Neymar
No Cavani
No Ibrahimovic
No…
No…
No…
No divas -> Campionés!
They laughed at us, they called us farmers, they mocked us, they wanted to see us lose and go down.
But Enrique found a way to build a TEAM! And that team is now standing at the top of the world.
Now it’s time to celebrate. It’s been such a long journey.
Congratulations PSG!
@Pelle agreed about the teamwork and divas. Great job all-round.
Yes!
But in all honesty I doubted this team a lot at the beginning of the season. But they just kept improving without looking back.
PSG-Spurs super cup 😁
they called us farmers
No i think people called ligue 1 a farmers league and it is.
That's a quadruple for Luis Enrique incredible and for the LW who signed in january he won 5 trophies as he was involved in the Napoli title win.
I wanted Luis Enrique at Arsenal since Wenger's last season at Arsenal or since before that and again it shows that fans know more than their club.
It's crazy that Villa couldve knocked PSG out since they didn't show up in the 2nd leg and were making silly mistakes.
Its funny PSG finally won it without having elite players.
Just remembered PSG had many defeats in the UCL this season:
Arsenal 2-0 PSG (October 2024)
PSG 1-2 Atletico (November 2024)
Bayern 1-0 PSG (November 2024)
PSG 0-1 Liverpool (February 2025)
Aston Villa 3-2 PSG (April 2025)
That's easily a record number of defeats for a UCL winner which is unbelievable.
You have to win when it matters.
The draw are done. Are you guys ready?
