PSG although is not the same team from last year, they still deserved it more than Arsenal. The single mistake that PSG made, was to concede the first. All they had to do is to score first and after they can beat Arsenal, 5-0 like they did with Inter last year.
If Mourinho did what Arteta did he would have been termed a Genius . Orchestrating a well oiled machine. But for Arteta everyone's senses seems to stop .
In these situations players like Messi and hazard Neymar strives because they break these systems with dribbling and vision
Arsenal moved the game to the wings where they could easily defend
I personally think that Bayern is a better team than Arsenal but yeah
Saka was turned into a defender just like last year😂😂😂
The AI pronunciation of names is brutal.
I think arsenal played better than psg. Defending.. arsenal frustrate psg of not giving them more oppotunity inside the box. You can see how psg move the ball without any danger for arsenal. But the second half is different. Psg were able to penetrate their defenses and eventually led to penalty. The rest is history. Salute to arsenal!!!! Salute to psg and luis enrique. They did the impossible without the stars like neymar messi and mbbape. Back to back ucl champions!!!
Structure vs Controlled Chaos Which approach impressed you more in this final: Arsenal's defensive organization or PSG's constant rotations and positional freedom? 👇
What I am learned in this game it Enrique's playgame is at six meters if PSG cannot make a build-up, Safonov have to kick the ball outside, it is a general strategy not an unique tactic to isolate Olise as said before. A playgame because their miedfields, players are not tall, to avoid un counter-attack. We may say PSG lose the ball, yes but they can recovery the ball later and maintly to avoid a counter-attack , 0% of counter-attack. If kicking the ball inside, 50% of lost or recovery but also 50% counter-attack. We will see it often with PSG. A very strategic game from both sides.
No. The 2 best teams of the season met in the semis: PSG and Bayern.
I disagree with the others and Id say they àre biased because they dont like Arsenal. For me especially in the first half Arsenal were more effective offensively and defensively, if it werent for that penalty PSG wouldnt have scored, their mentality had been destroyed and what they did was shot from far away and prayed to go in. Brilliant defensive structure by Arteta, Kvara and Doue were kept quiet.
First time I see psg looks clueless and toothless.... They seems frustrated...
During 120 minutes, Arsenal had one single shot on the PSG-goal. They may be very efficient in defence, but compared to the semi-finals against Bayern, what a yawning game ! Parking 3 buses in front of the goal is not what makes football the most popular sport.
The interesting thing is everyone can see pep 4-2-4 press can’t be broken 😂, even psg was struggling to progress the ball.
Arsenal is useless.Putting a bus in the goal for more than 140 minutes.Mourinho useless style of play
I waiting full match tactics camera
Arsenal didn't have the same class and talents as psg, Arteta did and brought out the best defensive play from
Seeing this, I am worried that in the future football tactics will focus on pressing and throwing the ball like American Football as we saw at PSG, and if the opponent also uses the same method, then both of them will throw the ball until there is a gap in the transition.
Arsenal's tactics were as effective as they were destructive to the football spectacle. Despite this, I think Enrique has found a way to break Arteta's grip. -The constant shift of players to the right flank left Khvicha free throughout the match, he was constantly signaling - although the PSG players unfortunately did not take advantage of this opportunity. -The central players' shift forward should have left more space for the forwards positioned slightly behind. However, there were some snags here too, for example when Fabian knocked the ball away from Khvicha (42nd/43rd minute). -In the end, I think that individual skill prevailed over numbers - this is evidenced by both the penalty incident and Khvicha's solo raid. -Regarding the penalty: it's a very controversial issue, and in matches like these, controversial penalties are usually not awarded... - Yes, they could have been awarded, and they could have also awarded a penalty to Arsenal when a defender practically blocked the ball (several times) with his hand... All to all, I think Arsenal did their best (if you don't count the end of the match when PSG were left without a lead and Arsenal continued to play the same game plan to keep the score).
