That Lucas Hernandez elbow on Xavi Simons was really nasty. Far worse than it initially looked.

Who knows how long Arsenal can sustain this high-energy hunger? While it lasts it is making them a very powerful collective.

Lots to chew over in the briefing from the Emirates, with @sebsb.bsky.social and @liamtharme.bsky.social

Vincent Kompany has been quietly transformative at Bayern Munich, proving to be exactly the right coach at the right moment.

Stories from his career suggest we should have seen that coming.

RUSG have been brilliant in Istanbul against Galatasaray. Could probably have had a penalty, have just hit the bar. A really fine coaching job by David Hubert so far.

What is Gueye doing <right now> though? Four mins before half time, is he preparing to apologise or is he crouched behind the kit hamper preparing an ambush to finish the job? If ever a situation warranted cameras in the dressing room, it’s this one.
