Who gets the Chocolates here?
Reigning Champions or the funnily enough,Wannabe Champions.
PSG for Moi’!
Poor old Gunners!
Lost it on a Penalty Shootout 4 - 3,with 2 misses that beggar belief!
Well,maybe the 1st because of a Ridiculous Routine,whereas the 2nd just got under it too much and over it went,for a PSG Win.
To be quite frank though,had PSG converted their General Dominance in normal time,it probably should have been over long before Penalties!
Cheer Up Gunners!
Even if the FA Won’t,you just add 2 of City’s Falsely Gained Titles to your Tally and wait for the day that Actially happens!
I must add,what happened at City doesn’t necessarily reflect on Pep(Guardiola).There is a 2 year window from when he joined City,the offences allegedly took place.But unfortunately,decisions made upstairs of him,will unfortunately come back on him to some degree.
Penalties are always a cruel way to lose a final but as you said PSG were the better team in the game so deserved to win. Would actually prefer a golden goal to decide these games rather than penalties
They went with that for quite a time.Liverpool beating a Brave Alavez in 2001 was one example and cruelly,it was an accidental back header that determined it.
Can’t remember when they ditched it in General,but it might be worth checking if it’s a possibility in the upcoming World Cup,especially in Mexico.
Imagine going through 2 and a Half Hours of a Sudden Death Final,before Penalties like Brazil v France in '86.Socrates was knackered near the end,when he couldn’t tap in from very close range,with Joel Bats absolutely stranded.
Socrates then compounded his miss,when his Penalty was saved by Bats in the Shoot-Out at Jalisco Stadium.Tele(Santana)should have put him right at the back of Brazil’s list,so he probably didn’t need to take a shot,because he was totally Spent.
Even so,PSG and Ar*enal couldn’t produce an Extra Time Winner in 30 plus munutes(probably 40),so off to Penalties they went.
Gunners Fans and Supporters had a Party anyway,celebrating their Premier League Title and good on ‘em.
The PSG fans went off their trolley and had a Riot in Paris,making it seems a right nuisance of themselves.
Bring back Bordeaux!
