PSG 1:1 Arsenal (AET, PSG win 4:3 on pens)
UEFA Champions League Final - 30/05/26

Yeah, I probably have too much time on my hands. I'm in Birmingham visiting the in-laws and the missus can't walk due to a sore toe. So obviously, in such a situation, you write a poem about the Champions League Final.

PSG Tips

ARSE!
enal, well
you tried your best.
I won’t stick-in the boot or make you cry like the rest
on social media, I’ll feed ya some hope, a diversion.
Look, you’ve had a better week or two than Nicola Sturgeon.

A brain surgeon’s precision was the decision of Arteta.
And the team couldn’t have tackled that tactic much better;
kept their shape great, stopped and blocked as good as you can get.
Set PSG’s play to fail, like a stale baguette.

But don’t forget you don’t get a European trophy, yet.
It’s the harshest way to end and then have no regrets, so let’s
learn from this yearning, this hocus-pocus: focus like a lens.
You’ll grow. But oh, just one thing:
Don’t fanny about on pens.

armchaircritic59 added 17:52 - May 31 Haha, yes indeed, keeping your keyboard primed for the World Cup? Excellent rearguard effort from Arsenal, they knew they had to do it otherwise they'd have got a tonking. Very little else to offer unfortunately. It's actually a rather interesting situation in European leagues right now. The PL is very clearly the best league in overall strength by some margin, but the top teams in 2 or 3 other leagues are better than our top teams. Let's see if it's a trend or it changes.
