How much did they spent on that ground for us to own it?

A goal and 2 assists for Merino over both legs. He’s been a fucking revelation since going up top. Incredible.

One of the best displays in the history of the club. I just couldn't post throughout the game as I was so worried about tempting fate but we put those diving, cheating, card waving wankers in their place with ease

11 heroes - Dec MOTM but let's be honest Kiwior, MLS, Timber, Gab...too many to mention

What an amazing night- mature and calm to the end

And how nice to see a ref brave enough to make big unpopular calls - thought he was magnificent from first to last. Time for those guys to come to the PL and kick all of our dickheads out !!
Totally agree with all of that. We took the game to them from minute one tonight. On the front foot, creating all the chances and limiting them to fuck all.

Ref top class bar letting them off with some snide dirty late tackles especially that day fuck Rudiger.

I’d have had no issue if our penalty wasn’t given and there was no way there’s was one. Madrid a disgrace diving all night.

Outstanding by us and as you say one of THE great performances.

Outstanding team performance tonight - too many players were excellent to single them all out, but again I will say that timber absolutely nullified vini jnr at his ease 8)

Can I also say that bellingham is a sneaky whinging dirty c.unt and would love to see him badly broke up

Ok - first time posting, so queue the abuse...

But, can anyone remember a better performance by an Arsenal midfielder than Declan Rice tonight? Love Paddy to bits, but I can't even remember Vieira having a game like that...

I think this proves to our first team that we can compete in the huge games,we dismantled Madrid over 2 legs tonight,physcologically this could be massive

What a night fucking brilliant.

For saka to score like that after the pen miss is unreal.

Delighted for martinelli.

Brilliant team performance.

Arteta got it right tonight.

Dec was fucking immense. I always had him up there as our natural leader and he has absolutely bossed two massive games and shown all the maturity in the world. Odegaard may wear the armband but this is the bloke that makes it all tick. Physically strong, breaks up play, creates....what's not to like. Love the bloke to bits

Must admit I was 'concerned' about Kiwior... But he was Rock Solid....


Odegaard and Saka were our two weakest players tonight.



Fantastic to See Martinelli Carry the Ball Like He Used To And Get A Goal... Will Do Wonders For HIs Confidence :barscarf:

Catching up on the thread now - we were genuinely THAT good tonight?

Two that stand out for me are Rocky at the scousers in 89 and Santi Cazorla at cheaty about ten years ago. Rice was world fucking class tonight, though. Absolutely world class.

And, by the way, where were you when we were... :wink:

Welcome mate!

No abuse here. Grooming, most likely, but no abuse.

Declan Rice a colossus again. Timber outstanding. MLS playing like a seasoned pro. Gabi and Saka excellent on the wings and two superb goals. Not a fan of Merino, but very good tonight. Kiwior didn't point a foot wrong and didn't let us down in either game, but I've always had a soft spot for the guy.

Fucking elated, brilliant.
