00:00Arsenal is in the final for the first time since 2006 where they lost to Barcelona, the jersey behind Josh.
00:08Thoughts on today, thoughts on Arsenal making the Champions League final.
00:11Do we think they're going to win it?
00:12Is it impressive considering that their side of the bracket wasn't as tough?
00:15What's our general thoughts on Arsenal getting to the final?
00:18So one thing I will say is watching that game, Arsenal's defense is very organized.
00:22Oh, it is.
00:22It's very, very organized.
00:23And so as we've been, as kind of the football media world had their back and forth about last week's
00:29incredible game between PSG and Bayern where so many goals were scored, but a criticism of the defense in that
00:36game was made.
00:37In contrast, Arsenal's defense is incredible.
00:39It is.
00:39It is really, really good.
00:40They are really organized.
00:41They know how to stay very compact.
00:43And potentially what ends up happening is they're able to just win a tournament off a defensive performance.
00:49Yep.
00:49And I have a stat on that.
00:50Shout out Tim for sending over.
00:51However, they are still the only team undefeated in this year's tournament.
00:55They have yet to concede a goal from open play in the knockout phase and have only lost two of
00:59their last 24 Champions League matches.
01:01So they have been showing up in this.
01:02It's actually pretty disgusting.
01:03There were a couple of pens in that game though, in my opinion.
01:05Therefore, I mean, they still haven't resulted in a trophy yet.
01:08Definitely could have been some pens.
01:09I think when he stamped on Griezmann's leg in the box, that was a penalty.
01:14Yeah.
01:14And I don't understand why they didn't review it.
01:17I don't know.
01:18I think it was offsides?
01:19No.
01:19I watch a lot of soccer.
01:21First half?
01:21I'm still super confused about when VAR is playing.
01:23Yeah, VAR is a bit of a Mazabini.
01:25I still don't get it because they showed it and he stepped on his foot.
01:28So why didn't you take a look at it?
01:30Yeah.
01:31I don't know.
01:31It's a weird one.
01:32And then the other thing is like Simeone taking off Lukman, Griezmann.
01:37Oh, it made no sense.
01:38Lukman, Griezmann, and...
01:40Julian.
01:40Yeah, Julian.
01:41Your three best offensive players.
01:42It felt like match fixing to me.
01:44You know when you turn on a game and it looks like one of the teams is not playing, bro.
01:50And the argument is going to be, oh, Arsenal shut them down.
01:54Bro, it looked like they literally didn't show up to play in probably the biggest game of their season.
01:58I will say, this is why Arsenal fans get mad at us.
02:01We can't call it match fixing, bro.
02:02They earned it.
02:03Like, they earned it.
02:04I can call it.
02:06Wait, wait.
02:06You're sitting here and actually calling it match fixing?
02:08Bro, I'm not saying we need to investigate Athletic Madrid, but I'm saying...
02:12To you, it looked like match fixing.
02:13It looked like from 15 minutes in, I was like, mm, this doesn't feel right.
02:18Yeah, bro.
02:19Chelsea, Chelsea fan, by the way.
02:20You're telling me Simeone's probably last year with the club.
02:24Griezmann's on his way out.
02:25That team had no fight?
02:27That's not true.
02:28They had no fight.
02:28They had some fight.
02:29They were uncoordinated as hell.
02:31Yeah, they were uncoordinated.
02:32They made it to the Champions League semifinals and were uncoordinated and had no fight.
02:36In the most important game.
02:39That's a let it go with Drew, man.
02:41Yeah, they are.
02:42For the Americans.
02:44They're literally...
02:44Yeah, yeah.
02:45So, let's go with...
02:46Yeah, exactly.
02:47Let's go with Madrid is the LA Clippers of soccer.
02:51Spoke about that a lot, bro.
02:53Amen.
02:54I'm just saying...
02:54It's what they do.
02:54It was boring and I was like...
02:56They could get to finals, though.
02:57Don't do that.
02:57Yeah, and lose.
02:58No, but they could get to finals, though.
02:59Yeah, and then everyone at the Champions League.
03:00Athletic Madrid has so many players that you're like, you don't have Champions League semifinal experience.
03:05Like, you don't know what to do in this situation.
03:07Fair.
03:08Too many players on that roster.
03:10I'm watching Sorloff, like, try to sweetest dance around the ball.
03:14I saw...
03:15I saw...
03:15You don't know what to do.
03:17I saw Sorloff swing...
03:19You don't know what to do.
03:19I saw Sorloff swing and miss in the box.
03:21That was crazy.
03:22That was crazy.
03:22I saw Simeone take a touch around the keeper and then not shoot.
03:27Take a touch, chipped it over the keeper and then didn't shoot with no keeper in the goal.
03:34And I saw Luckman miss, like, hella touch, like, pass it straight to him.
03:38He's like, I don't know.
03:39I couldn't see the ball.
03:40He is from London.
03:42Yeah.
03:42Hey, man.
03:43Somebody should investigate it.
03:45Low key.
03:45I'm crying.
03:46Well, Arsenal, you earned it.
03:48You're not going to win in the final, but you did earn it.
03:50They might.
03:50Because defensively...
03:51Yeah, they actually...
03:51They actually definitely...
03:52They were good.
03:53Who do you think they could beat?
03:55I don't think they could beat both teams.
03:56I think for them, though, I think they would prefer PSG.
03:59Yeah, for sure.
04:01I think you prefer PSG.
04:01Oh, you definitely do.
04:02Because PSG won last year.
04:04Like, PSG on their day is incredible, but when PSG's off, they're beatable.
04:09What does that mean?
04:12What do you mean?
04:12What does that mean?
04:13You definitely prefer the team...
04:15He's like, because PSG won last year, then.
04:17What's harder?
04:17Okay, so tell me who's ever repeated the Champions League.
04:20He's going to say statistically it's really unlikely.
04:22Yeah.
04:24That's it.
04:24I don't want to see the people who just won the whole shit, though.
04:27Stop cussing.
04:29Sorry.
04:30It's more difficult, though.
04:31Look at France.
04:32No, of course.
04:332022 France, right?
04:34And I told y'all they wasn't going to repeat.
04:35No, the statistics are there, but at the same time, too.
04:37And Bayern, I think...
04:39They're licking their lips.
04:40You know what I mean?
04:41If you just won it, it's like, all right.
04:42Both teams are licking their lips against Arsenal.
04:44You know what Bayern's done to Arsenal?
04:46Come on, if I'm 8-2, 8-0, 7-0, 5-0, 5-0.
04:49I think if I'm Arsenal...
04:50It's smacking them games.
04:51If I'm an Arsenal fan, I prefer PSG.
04:53Yeah.
04:54I prefer PSG.
04:54Really?
04:55It's interesting.
04:55Also, once it gets really, really techie, if you just won the last one, it's not the
05:00same.
05:00We see in all sports, it's called the championship angle.
05:02Of course, of course.
05:03Bayern, Kane and Olissa and them boys who are fighting for the Ballon d'Or on top of that,
05:07too.
05:07Of course, of course.
05:07These are fights will be different.
05:09Company...
05:10Think about the coaching, too.
05:11I don't see that with this team, though.
05:13With this PSG team, though.
05:14The hunger's still there.
05:15No, the hunger's still there.
05:16I just think there's little...
05:18Could be even more.
05:19You know when they say digging deeper, I personally think Bayern would find it more
05:22than PSG because of last year.
05:24And stats are not wrong.
05:27Who's repeating in the World Cup?
05:28Just Brazil.
05:28Who's repeating the Champions League?
05:29Just Real Madrid.
05:30Of course.
05:30It's not like this magical thing that is...
05:31No.
05:32It very rarely happens.
05:34No, it's okay.
