"Arsenal will remain the largest club ever to touch the Champions League Cup. Congratulations Arsenal, they must be proud of stones!", former 54-year-old protagonist in Rothen s'enflamme on French radio RMC Sport. "The idea of them from the beginning is obvious, which means nothing, no round number, they don't want rocks. Not a moment they want to impose the game. It's all just a non-subscription, a group that finds all the way to a systematic timer. That kind of rock really swallows up and doesn't last."
Following the same kicks as the French World Cup Championship 1998, Euro 2000 and FIFA Confederations Cup 2001, if Mikel Arterta's master champions Champions League 2025-2026, that would be a disaster for football as well as the followers of the King's Sports. "Arsenal almost created a delusion that the only need for such a small amount of negative rock and tribute was the possibility of champions of the League. Because it's not just this game they kick so badly. They've played that in a lot of games," Dugarry insisted.
He even used heavy words when he said of the London team: "Arsenal to the final with the wild ego, by Arteta's eloquent statement 'We'll defeat PSG'. I'm extremely pleased when Arsenal has to taste defeat and I hope if one day wants to be champion, they have to learn to play the ball well".
Dugarry claimed that Arsenal was originally the traditional club and the taste of the arts football philosophy so that it was impossible to maintain the game as it is, and emphasized that if they played straight and failed, they still had the right to hold their heads high. "Now they'll have to eat the pain every day, very well!" he concluded.
The French media after the last Champions League Finals did not hesitate to condemn Arsenal. The L’Équipe stated: "We have always tried to avoid visual judgments. But what Arsenal performed in the finals forced us to put that principle aside. As the decades passed, it was again seen such a practical, negative game in a sized match. A football team exposes extreme uglyness in the way of play".
The author of this article, Dan Perez believed that since the Emirtes Field Club was too few of the continental titles in the traditional room, when faced with the opportunity to make history, they were no longer concerned with the controversy over the style of the competition.
"We're talking about a group that's ready to buy time to a couple of tens of seconds for each fixed situation. One group considers each of the borders or kicks fine from a 60-meter distance as an option (sometimes unique) to fill the ball into the hostile zone. And it's a group that accepts to go back to the home yard to preserve the score for 85 minutes after the early opening table", the journalist of L'Équipe wrote.
Arsenal was once known as the beautiful, flowering league team under the Ahmad Werger coach. For 22 years under him, from 1996 to 2018, the team won three British Foreign Championships, including the 2003-2004 championship season, and entered the 2006 Champions League Finals but lost Barca 2-1 in a shortage because of Jens Lehn's Red Card.
After Werger retired, the London team spent a long time falling, having barely won a significant title. It was not until Mikel Arteta was appointed in 2019 that Arsenal was restored to the top British football status. After three consecutive seasons on the second, they were the first British Foreign Championship after 22 years. At the Champions League, the Emirs Fieldmasters re-released regularly from 2023, promoted from the four-finals, semi-finals and this year in final with the undefeated record.
