Arsenal came very close to the feat in the Champions League final. After opening the score in the 6th minute, the Gunners almost trapped the Paris Saint-Germain players with a minimalist game plan based solely on defense and saving time. A tactic that did not please many people, including Christophe Dugarry.
“I’m delighted. Arsenal is and will remain the greatest club never to have won the Champions League. Well done, what pride! (…) Arsenal’s intentions were clear from the start of the match. They did nothing. At no time did they come onto the field to create anything. We saw some clearings. We saw a team that sought to gain time systematically. It was undrinkable, unbearable! What was almost terrible for football was that they almost gave the illusion that by doing so little, we could win the Champions League. (…) It’s junk! (…) I’m so happy they have it in the baba. If they want to win it one day, let them start playing football! That’s not Arsenal, there is a history in this club. They can’t play like that, it’s not possible. If they had won, it would have been a scandal.he confided to the microphone of RMC Sport.
