    Ref has lost control, it's got to a stage when any semi bad foul has to be a yellow to be consistent.

    Like Kvaratskhelia, gets the ball and just wants to attack/take his man on.

    Agree that the ref is poor.

    Ref has done Arsenal a few favours tbf, PSG could easily have had a penalty

    I get so frustrated when linesman give soft freekicks to full backs. As did Saka when he kicks the ball away and receives a yellow for it.

    It baffles me if these officials have ever played the game before. that full back had no where to go so waits till a slight touch before going down. it's cheating and happens every game and they know they will get the free kick. really pisses me off.

    It shouldn't take this long FFS. Also, if that's offside then it was an over elaborate free kick routine

    Not surprised he was offside, the Arsenal players didn't get back quickly enough

    How do they have semi automated offsides, he was half a yard offside and it still took 3 minutes to give the decision?

    Was ridiculous everyone standing around for 3 minutes, it looked offside on the replay. Wish they'd just get rid of VAR altogether

    I'm impressed by Doue every time i see him play. The 50m PSG paid for him is going to look like peanuts.

    Bad miss from Barcola there, if he scores that it would've potentially been tie over for Arsenal.

    Can't help but be impressed by PSG. They are so comfortable on the ball and Arsenal have barely threatened them.

    I've been impressed since I saw them vs Liverpool, they should have been out of sight tonight. Arsenal have too many players like Martinelli and Odegaard who are just not at the level to make a difference when things aren't going well

    Thought Arsenal's main guys, Saka, Odegaard, Rice, were all quiet tonight. You can afford 1 or maybe 2 to have a quiet game, but all 3 of them leaves you with very little chance. I think Arteta should've brought Nwaneri on for Odegaard sooner. 

    PSG are a serious team though. I love how they play.

    Thought psg game Management second half was class. Big ask for arsenal now

    The only positive for Arsenal, is that it's only 1-0.

    Have Arsenal fans flipped on Odegaard suddenly or did I only just notice it?

    Time flies - remember when they hailed him as the best thing since sliced bread. Now they think their club is too good for him.

    Typical Arsenal fan behaviour.

    Thought Rooney was right about the crowd being very quiet, even if it came over as a dig!

    Odegaard is shit. To be fair, PSG were so well organised arsenal struggled. If only the "pretend to be offside" tactic had sunk in and become "also, don't be offside"

    He's been poor all season, doesn't seem to have found any form since his early season injury.

    40 games and just 5 goals, 10 assists this season, and 2 of those goals came in the 7-1 win at PSV.

    I thought it sounded loud at kick off, but that early PSG goal killed the vibe.

    I don't know if I could be a psg fan. Similar with a lot of European sides when they play away. They were jumping around singing for the whole game. Would do my head in. Half of them weren't even watching the game. Other teams set of flares endlessly and have megaphones and drummers. 
    Yeah you want an atmosphere but tone it down a bit lads.

    I hope our fan culture is more like PSG if I am honest with you.

    Didn't watch the game as didn't realize that it was on Prime until KO ! The snooker was enjoyable 🤷🏻‍♂️

    When I watched the earlier rounds PSG seemed like a better team without the elite superstars of recent years. A team can improve without the Mesmerising Messi, Mbappe and Neymar together in a team.

    English teams have - by far - the most successful record in the UEFA Champions League and its predecessor, the European Cup, than all other nations' teams combined, in seasons when the Pope has died.  

    Three times a Pope has died in the year that an English team has won the trophy; once each for Italy and Spain.

    30 seconds gone and a Thuman back flick puts Inter 1 up.
