00:00I mean, Jamie, it's a bit sad. I'm a bit sad, I know you're not.
00:07But, look, people will talk about the miss of Bukayo, people will talk about a lot of things,
00:14but at the end of the day, I do believe that Paris Saint-Germain deserve to go through over the two legs
00:19and it's not even being a good sport, they do deserve it.
00:23It does hurt as an Arsenal fan, but you have to congratulate them.
00:27Yeah. I mean, they had to score in that early time, didn't they?
00:31Yes.
00:32They had to score in the first 15-20 minutes. They had to in their tier.
00:35I mean, as you said, the best team have got through.
00:38I mean, that is the final, really, isn't it?
00:40We were probably hoping for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, but Arsenal will be disappointed.
00:46But, as I said, Paris Saint-Germain have been the best team in Europe this season.
00:51Well, what were your thoughts, Jamie? I haven't been able to hear them for the last half an hour or so.
00:55The best team won. I was impressed with Arsenal's performance in this game.
01:01They actually did a lot more than I thought they would.
01:03And I think they'll come away from the game thinking they were maybe unfortunate to lose the actual game in itself.
01:09I mean, even though PSG missed the penalty, let's not forget.
01:12But they put up a really strong shot. I think in the first 20-25 minutes, I think they gave PSG a real scare.
01:19And they were very unlucky not to go 1-0 up.
01:22What's your perspective, Thierry?
01:24I mean, like Jamie said, I mean, the best team went through.
01:29And people will talk to me about moments. Yeah, moments do matter. Details do matter.
01:34Paris Saint-Germain blitzed Arsenal at the beginning at the Emirates I'm talking about and scored.
01:41Arsenal did the same thing at the Paris-de-Prince and didn't score.
01:46And yes, you will tell me that Donnarumma saved it. People will talk to me about the miss of Bukayosaka.
01:51I can go also with Desiree Dewey not giving the ball to Barcola.
01:56Barcola missing almost a 1v1. OK, they can always touch it.
02:00They're missing a penalty. We can have a lot. At the end of the day, the best team went through.
02:05It is painful. But there's nothing really you can say.
02:10At one point, Arsenal started to be really direct. Any throwing, any free kick, anything were played long in the box.
02:19No, seriously. And by the way, it worked. It did work. But not enough.
02:25And there was a difference between the two teams for me.
02:29Does this feel kind of like a coming of age for PSG in some ways for this team?
02:33Yeah, I think so. I think they've looked better than Inter Milan in this competition because that's all that matters now.
02:40And I think if you're PSG and you get to the final and you come up against Inter Milan,
02:46who are a very good team. But it's not Real Madrid, it's... Oh, Big Meeks.
02:52Big Meeks, Peter Schmeichel and Donnarumma reunited.
02:55Big Meeks being ignored?
02:57Will Donnarumma know where Big Meeks is?
02:59Big Meeks is being ignored. He's just watching. He's letting the goalkeepers have their moment, I think.
03:03I mean, I love that moment. Peter Schmeichel is just... Oh, look at that. He knows who Big Meeks is.
03:07He's got some love.
03:08He's got to ask him now who his favourite is, isn't he? Who's your favourite? It's you.
03:12Look, look, look. Look at Mike. Mike, I was asking about his show.
03:18Yeah, I'm OK. I'm OK, he said.
03:20But listen, this is the man at the moment. He's won the Champions League before.
03:25Is he going to win an against here? Would you make them favourites?
03:28Do you think they've got a really big confidence now?
03:30I'll go further. He won the treble.
03:32Yes.
03:33He can do another one with another team.
03:35Yeah.
03:36So, look, anything can happen in the final. You already know that.
03:40Jamie, I'm not going to go there.
03:42But what it did is, you were saying, like, is it a team that's coming of age?
03:47But it's the youngest team that they've ever...
03:49Right.
03:50Normally that happens to... I won't talk about wine and yesterday, but normally that's what happened.
03:54You know, a good wine, a good team, when you have a couple of orders...
03:58Maturity.
03:59...and you didn't win. But that team is very young.
04:03Most of them don't even know the bad results in Europe for Paris and Germany.
04:09And they don't really care. They went to semi-final last year.
04:12They're going to the final this year.
04:14And it looks like they might, they might win it.
04:17But hey, don't sleep on Inter. It's going to be a very good final.
04:20Bye.
04:21I'm getting rushed.
04:23By popular demand, Micah is not here in the studio.
04:25No, he was voted that he should be in Paris.
04:28Oh, wow.
04:29Man of the people, Micah Riches.
04:32He said, yeah, baby.
04:34Where are you?
04:35Yes.
04:36Can you hear me?
04:38Yes.
04:39Can you hear me?
04:40Yes.
04:41Can you hear me?
04:42Yes.
04:43Yes.
04:45Yes!
04:46Yes!
04:50What is he saying?
04:52Yes!
04:53yes, yes, yes.
04:54What is he saying?
05:02Is he a Paddy Sanjumano fan now?
05:04That's what I'm saying. The guy's an Arsenal fan.
05:06Look at what he does.
05:10I'm having an absolute great tone.
05:12This is why you want me on the road
05:14because this is absolutely
05:16outstanding. I'm impressed.
05:24Wow!
05:26Wow!
05:28Oh my God!
05:30I'm absolutely not there!
05:32I don't know how the Arsenal fan
05:34will take that one, him being an Arsenal fan
05:36and singing Paris Saint-Germain, but
05:38he's going to have to deal with that one.
05:40You've spoken to him today? Is he in good shape?
05:42Yeah, he was! Did I speak to him?
05:44This guy called me,
05:46video called me,
05:48and I was out of the shower.
05:50Oh, Jesus. So that's...
05:52No, but, you know.
05:54Anyway.
05:56I was out of the shower.
06:00That's my man calling me.
06:02So I'm like, okay.
06:04I answer.
06:06And he was like with some Arsenal fan
06:08and as soon as I saw that
06:10I didn't have a T-shirt on and stuff
06:12and I put the phone down. This guy.
06:14That's typical him. And then I called back
06:16and he was in good spirit.
06:18I don't know what if I can say
06:20maybe it was or maybe not. Anyway,
06:22he was at a terrace with some Arsenal fans
06:24pretending to be an Arsenal fan.
06:26Aperitif?
06:28Oh, an aperitif, yes.
06:30And now he's pretending to be a Paris Saint-Germain fan.
06:32But anyway, no, he was in good spirit
06:34and it's nice to see him like that.
06:36It's a day so far. Oysters?
06:38Oh, wow.
06:40Snails.
06:42Oh, he's got a sticky stuff.
06:44Oh, did he? Oh, no.
06:46Oh, no.
06:48Commiserations, that was Arsenal's
06:50first semi-final in the Champions League
06:52since the 2008-2009 campaign.
06:54How tough is it to take?
06:56Well, first of all, congratulate PSG.
07:00They are in the final.
07:02It's not about merits, it's actually about
07:04what the scoreline shows.
07:06This game is about, and this competition
07:08about the boxes and in both games
07:10their man of the match was the same player.
07:12Their goalkeeper.
07:14Today it was Ashraf Hakimi.
07:16Yeah, well, I think it was clear
07:18who won the game today for them.
07:20And I just spoke to them
07:22and they had the same view on it.
07:24Who did you speak to?
07:25Very disappointed not to be in the final,
07:28but we have to accept that the performance
07:30is not enough at the end.
07:31You have to have the capacity
07:34to win the game in the box.
07:36Who is it that you spoke to?
07:37A few people of them.
07:38Oh, and they shared that opinion?
07:40Yeah, yeah. All of them.
07:41In terms of events within the game,
07:43there was the penalty call.
07:46You didn't seem happy with that.
07:47Of course, Raya stepped up, he made the save.
07:49Saka managed to pull one back,
07:51but it wasn't enough.
07:52Yeah.
07:53That's all in the pass now.
07:55Oh, okay.
07:57Well, unfortunately, we've only got 30 seconds left,
08:00so you can give me a very quick reaction.
08:02I'm good at these links.
08:04No, listen.
08:05When a manager speaks after the game,
08:07he's still emotional.
08:08I've seen another interview where he says
08:09that he feels Arsenal are the best team
08:10in the Champions League this season
08:12and what they've done.
08:13That's nonsense. They're not.
08:14They're not.
08:15He said something similar a couple of days
08:16about Liverpool's points tally.
08:17I'm the same one with him.
08:19So, no.
08:20I think it's just an emotional manager at the moment.
08:21Six, five, four.
08:22Yeah.
08:23Great at these links.
08:24We'll see you in a minute.
08:25Everybody have a wonderful time.
08:26See you at the final.
08:27Bye.
08:28Bye.
08:29Bye.
08:30Bye.
08:31Bye.
