Total lottery and unsatisfactory way to settle a big game, even if they changed format to mirror tennis.
I would also make it first to ten.

thank f**k for that, the sight of Arteta lifting the CL trophy would've been grotesque, even though PSG didn't really deserve it.

Fully agree. Football wins tonight.
what the hell? What did I say that has angered you so much? 
Feel sorry for the likes of Saka. Arteta on the other hand a vile individual.
Having a penalty saved is acceptable.
Missing the target is unforgiveable

Arsenal should have tried to actually win during the match.
Legohead played it too safe. PSG were certainly there for the taking.
They could've brought Jesuseless on, what a difference he could've made. 
a fittingly rubbish game to round off a miserable season. Let's hope we get a half decent EPL contest next season.
The most skillfull team won in the end.

Why did Rice not start?
He came on late in the second half but did very little. Scored a good pen though.

Arsenal are favs to set peice and stifle their way to another Prem. Doesn't bode well.
Didn't think that would be a dour affair especially after the
early goal.
early goal.
Agree, very poor game
Most of it was teams getting the ball up to about 30 yards out and then tip tapping about trying to create an opening, usually not succeeding...then repeat
Best team probably won, based on PSG tried a bit harder to create something

Arsenal had by far the easiest run to final.

that's the worst I've seen PSG play for over 2 years. If Arsenal can't beat that they don't deserve anything.
Not many tears from the millionair players, be a distant memory by Monday imo.
Ref was sensational. Took none of Arsenals time wasting or cheating.
l.pool.villa,n,castle all given PSG far more problems than the current champions give a poor on the night PSG tonight , SAKA 4 completed passes,no shots in 90 mins,should have given a pen ,and picked up a yellow card,

Rice's main contributions on the night was losing both coin tosses
How many of those 120 minutes plus, went by with 11 Arsenal players behind the ball?
Thank God those tactics payed zero return...

anyone else old enough to remember manduke fighting with a chelsa players over taking a pen,he want fighting a centre back or anyone else to take one tonight
Unlucky arsenal, but maybe on the night psg were
a little more deserving.
Always a pelanty to help them when they need it!!!

Yeah...and didn't Palmer remark that they weren't fighting him with a previous penalty that was a lot more crucial one.
Lots of bs here about how the more skilful team won, they needed a penalty to score and equalise.
FACT remains and it’s a point lost by all that Arsenal were undefeated in the Champions League throughout.
With that it’s ironic that they never lifted the trophy having NOT LOST a match throughout.
PSG were there for the taking and yet again Farteta made the wrong substitutions.
They were open at the back and scared shat of anyone running at them, as Manduke showed.
Dowing the Free Wind was made for a game like that to play on the last man and write history.
How anyone can cheer a foreign team that dives like they did I’ll never know?!
But you know this? That divide that you show in football will be the downfall of the country when the shat goes down.
Nice result for money and the bent ref working for the UAEFA Mob.

And twisted couple of things hit the target at least last penno what a plonker and just to be VERY clear Arsenal were played off the park longer it went on they were never going to win they are dull and boring boring boring.
agree about DUMBELLE absolutely horrendous last night only decent touch all night was the pen
You talk crud, PsG couldn’t break down Arsenal even with extra time added! 
Bitter is all the fans of under achieving clubs on here talking through their pocket not mentioning a certain penalty that wasn’t given!
If PSG are so creative they’d of found a way through and it’s a good job that they don’t play in the Premier league as they’d face that week in week out.
If you go toe to toe you’ll be beat by PSG, Arsenal’s set up was like Murinos for Inter Milan.
They played for free kicks and fouls when there was no way through and when they were attacked, typical continental style in a tournament.
Rolling over faking a hand in that face that was held out for balance, a keeper laying down pretending he was kicked in the head, a defender who was skinned sneaking a peak knowing he’d fouled hoping that the ref wouldn’t give a penalty!
Yeah that’s good football lads and you’re as clued up as Rio saying that their center half is the best in the world like munts that decided Dembelie is a Balon Dor!

ooh, go and collect your "15 games unbeaten but still losers" trophy. It's over there behind the tea pot.
I see there's no mention of a keeper going down with cramp
or when Saka thinking he was in goal when he caught the ball
in that post.

Fact,
“ This is not what we might call dominance, admittedly, but it is still dominance: the ability to stop the other team playing. The game was played on Arsenal’s terms, to Arsenal’s liking. They set the tempo: staccato, interrupted, discordant. They determined the rhythm. They did not have possession, but they had control.”

Got to be fair and say that Arsenal defended very well. PSG didn't really get a sniff of goal. No arguments there at all.
However, Arsenal were fortunate with the first goal, it was ricochet that fell sweetly into Havertz' path; it wasn't a good play (it was a reasonable finish though), it was a slice of luck, which allowed Arsenal to do what Arteta creams about... defending a lead.
Had Arsenal not had that slice of luck and PSG had scored first, then Arsenal would have had no choice but to recover, and this is where PSG probably would have ran riot.
The penalty was a given when I saw it in real time; I was actually shocked when he didn't give it, but on seeing the replays from different angles, it was the correct decision after all.
No excuses, Arsenal need to open up and play like all good champions do. Under Arteta and from my perspective, that is never going to happen.

Nasty **** thread this. Pathetic sad Arsenal haters outdone themselves...
Storm, it has nothing do with Arsenal haters. Spurs' fans perhaps, but the rest of them hate what they see in Arteta's Arsenal... and who can blame them? It really isn't nice football to watch.
Dry your eyes Stormy, get yourself ready and go to the parade... It'll be fun. 
ARTETA,s supposed generational talent SAKA 4 completed passes,no shots
lucky he can ride on the back of arsenal because on a personal level he,s produced less than Palmer,fodden,gibbs white,Bowen this season, noni cant replace him and both going to world cup

A really good striker and left winger and they're probably a top team. Oh, and give Rice the armband.
they've got 2 england left wingers and play them on the right,so I assume everyone saying arsenal need a left winger mean they need a RIGHT WINGER playing down the left, or am I missing something ?
The new invincables unbeaten in the Champions leauge
Porky is right about the way Arsenal approached yesterdays game (lower league club taking on an EPL club in the cup), i said the same to my lot during the game.
For the champions of the so called "best league in the world" to adopt such an approach was basically footballing cowardice. And they got what they deserved in the end. Their one and only effort on target in 120 minutes was the goal they scored in the SIXTH minute, this regrettably led to a very drab spectacle for the rest of the match.
All of the Gooners saying other fans are "haters" miss the point imo. It's not the club that are disliked, but the way they play. They do have good players but choose to play in an unattractive style that is anathema to the neutral football lover watching their games. I loved watching Arteta when he was playing for the toffees, skilful and a great passer of the ball. Shame his team don't play with the same style he did. The Arsenal team of 20 years or so ago with Henry and co were much envied, but not hated.
Dela has completely lost the plot with his rants today. Quoting Rory "Gravy Trainer" Smith ffs. And decrying the "antics" of the PSG players when the Arsenal guys have been doing the same throughout the EPL season - irony, much ?

I think arsenal took the right approach.
If penalty was given, they win.
Small margins, innit.
If you want to open it up against psg it doesn't end well.

Dour match, I personally expected that, was hoping the English team won because of company I was in. Only seen PSG penalty once, looked soft, the Arsenal claim late on, not for me but would not have been astonished if awarded.
Bad way for any team to lose, but nobody has come up with better idea.
Hope WC is more entertaining.

Dixie D nails it: For the champions of the so called "best league in the world" to adopt such an approach was basically footballing cowardice.
The PSG pen was nailed on Malay, Mosquera was a tad fortunate to stay on the pitch as he was already on a yellow.
The Arsenal claim did look like a pen in real time but replays showed the ref was right. One of those where VAR may not have overturned if given.

Dixie I will take your judgment on PSG penalty, I only seen it once, I had to run out and find my wee dog,and we don’t have commentary on so no idea what they said.
It was not an entertaining final but as said previously I didn’t expect anything different.

I don't know how replays showed it wasn't a pen
He's clearly got hold of him in the box, it's a penalty if he sees it
Lino cannot give it as he has no depth and cannot see
through them
Var doesn't want to get involved, fair enough.

as NEVIN pointed out on BBC highlights,the NONI foul was a trip/contact outside the box 1st and any foul inside the box was initiated by NONI ,s arm, holding the defender, good spot that no one on TNT coverage mentioned in 2 hr despite a dozen replays shown
That is right 1tp - had the PSG defender made the initial contact in the box then a pen would doubtless have followed, as it was the tussle continued in to the area, where Madueke was then clearly holding the defenders arm, not the other way round.
Madueke has his arm after they enter the box
Foul starts outside continues inside and then maduekes
arm can do little else than impact the psg player.
It's hard to see, and as above probably not for var.
Once the pundits have told you what's happened it becomes
a common argument.

some refs would have given a pen for the Saka "handball" in the first half - so both teams were actually denied one

We're not haters. Aspro and Dixie summed it up perfectly. I would have more respect for Arsenal if their brand of football wasn't so negative and unattractive to watch.
Psg got penalty v Newcastle for more or less exactly same as saka handball.
The interpretations of the law seem to change weekly.

That's why VAR should go. Not only is it open to interpretation, it has the ability to be manipulated and therein lies the problem. This should never be an option in the game yet it is.
Moot point in reality though considering all the clubs voted to keep it

I ain’t lost no plot Dixie, PSG aren’t the world beaters that they’ve been hyped to be.
Arsenal won a shat league as I said a while back, I also said that they won it without a striker!

They need to write the handball law so it can be understood.
It's ridiculous that handball in Epl is different to
handball in Ucl... But that tells you it's badly written.
Saka is perfect example, it's only handball when
they want it to be.

I’ve also criticised Farteta for his subs and tactics, compared him to being as astute as Southgate was in the heat of the moment.
When the opposition is wobbling and they looked shaky at the back, you go for the jugular.

And when I say that for clarity I mean these pigs dressed up as silk purses like Dembelle who I’ve said I don’t rate and many of the others who are held in such high regard by the pundits.

Police are investigating a night of absolute chaos after an estimated one million fans lined the streets for Arsenal's trophy parade.
The historic celebrations were sadly marred by violence later in the evening, with six people stabbed and 24 arrested -
including three on suspicion of sexual assault.
Looks like Storm Alert made it to the parade last night...
