Champs Lg Champions League 2024/25 (Final: PSG vs Inter Milan) - On Stan & Nine Gem

[NYRB]

Not sure if this French ref will make out alive, given how hostile the Madrid crowd is.

 

[Topkent]

Really other than the penalty scare that couldn't have been any easier definitely

 

[RPCB]

Courtois the main reason this tie is still alive.

Last time Arsenal conceded 3 goals in a match was 5th December 2023 against Luton. Real Madrid are quite ****ed lol.

 

[NYRB]

For a team that doesn't need to win the 2nd leg.

Half time stats:

Shots on Target

Real Madrid 0 v 3 Arsenal

Too be honest, dont think any of RM shots were that too threatening.

Apart from the Odegaard/Saka penalty, couldn’t have asked for a better first 55 mins. Any confidence in the result is misplaced though - it’s Real Madrid in the flipping Bernabeu.

 

[NYRB]

Inter Milan are all over Bayern Munich like a cheap suit

Leading 4-2 on aggregate now.

 

[chef]

Brilliant response from Inter after conceding

 

[glenferry23]

Bang. Saka.

And concede straight away from nowhere. Wow.

 

[RPCB]

Bang. Saka.

Magnificent!

How far behind is everyone?

Because… Wait for it…

Saliba napping

Massive, massive brain fade. Real Madrid still need the 3 goals to get it to extra time, like they did two minutes earlier before Saka scored. It should have been 4-0 on aggregate and all over.

 

[NYRB]

5-1 on aggregate to the Gunners.......

 

[glenferry23]

**** yes

Semi final awaits.

Deserved win at home and now closing in on a victory at The Bernabeu as the icing on the delicious cake.

 

[chef]

Arsenal smashed them in the end, great to see

 

[Gak Attack]

Very impressive by Arsenal, favourites for sure. Luckily Real have TAA coming in to help them defensively.

Very impressive by Arsenal, favourites for sure. Luckily Real have TAA coming in to help them offensively.

 

[Zidane98]

Great work by Arsenal, very professional performance.

Bayern going out to Inter is a surprise. Have to say Arsenal are favourites now.

 

[SM]

Never thought Arsenal were at risk even though it was 'only half time' after the first leg.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Declan Rice yellow card and will miss the 1st leg against PSG in the semi-final should Arsenal progress.

When did Rice get a yellow card?

 

[TY24]

When did Rice get a yellow card?

He was initially given one when the ref gave Mbappe a penalty, but it was rescinded when the penalty was overturned

 

[TY24]

A few dumb moments (Saka pen, Saliba having smoko, absolutely needless yellow from Partey) but otherwise that was an exceptional performance over two legs.

Mbappe and Rodrygo unsighted, Vini might as well have been as well apart from his tap in.

Rice and Partey dominated their midfield for 180 minutes, MLS more than held his own over two legs. Made a few errors but he’ll learn from them, overall I don’t think you can ask much more of an 18 year old playing against the European Champions.

Saka has resumed normal programming. The ultimate big game player, we look so much better with him in the side. He could’ve very easily gone into his shell after that dumb penalty miss but he put his head down and made up for it. He’ll learn from it.

One thing that does concern me is Odegaard. He’s a shadow of himself at the moment.

Can’t wipe the smile off my face at the moment. I don’t think we’ll beat PSG but we’ve already done it once this season, we have to believe we can do it again.

 

[FreoRicci]

Mbappe is a problem wherever he goes. Not a team player.

 

[Cruyff14]

Adios, Madrid!

Brilliant, brilliant team performance. Rice MOTM again. Timber very good, MLS very good, Partey too.

Don't know how Alaba or Rudiger weren't sent off.

Not many teams can say they're undefeated against Madrid in Europe. We can.

 

[Zidane98]

I guess coming back from 3-0 at home in the second leg isn't for everyone is it typeclub

 

[ADL9798]

Great result Arsenal. Suffer in your jocks typeclub
