These are my least favourite football matches to analyse, because while praising the exceptional quality of the performance from PSG you can't ignore the utterly grim architecture that got them here, and pointing out that architecture gets you accused of sour grapes.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

This is exactly why we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet. We need to do it at pace and with urgency. We need share the truth & the facts far & wide - & then, at the earliest opportunity, send those truth twisting & lying charlatans, wherever we find them, packing
Trump just alleged without evidence Ukraine should hold elections because Zelensky holds a "4% approval rating”
Recent polling from Kyiv International Institute of Sociology shows as of December 2024, 52% of Ukrainians trust Zelensky
I’m sure UK News shows will be all over this in the morning

That red card has left such a sour taste in my mouth. I really try to avoid referee conspiracy talk, but that's just another decision - in a season of shitty decisions - that get given against Arsenal and nobody else.
It's not violent conduct, he's not denying a goalscoring opportunity. I'm done.

5Live experts on Lewis-Skelly red card:
Pat Nevin: “a bar so low even a limbo dancing snake couldn’t get under it…”
Mark Chapman: “baffling and nonsensical from supposedly one of our best referees.”
I don't think anyone except VAR or Michael Oliver thought that was a red.

Kiwior looked good tonight, on the ball his distribution was the best I’ve seen it be in a long time. Saliba is a king.
