Evra takes a jab at Arsenal
UEFA Champions League winner Patrice Evra didn’t hold back in criticising Arsenal’s performances, both in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
In a throwback video on the Rio Podcast, the France international remarked that fans are accustomed to seeing Arsenal repeat the same story every season.
The former Juventus player likened the club to a never-ending Netflix series, implying that their struggles to win trophies have become predictable. He said:
"Watching Arsenal is watching Netflix, you always wait for the next season. Trust me, every season is going to be like that, so do not get involved.
"I am like really nice and peaceful, of course Manchester United is a disaster but please do not speak about Gunners."
Arsenal lost to PSG on 3-1 aggregate in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League.
Fabian Ruiz punished Arsenal with a sensational first-half volley from outside the box, leaving David Raya stretching and giving PSG a 1-0 lead on the night and a 2-0 advantage on aggregate.
Gunners' hopes were crushed as Achraf Hakimi sent a curling strike into the top corner in the 72nd minute, putting the tie beyond doubt at 3-0 on aggregate and sealing a night to forget for Arsenal.
Bukayo Saka pulled one back for Arsenal after a defensive mix-up, but it served more as a consolation goal for the North Londoners, who missed out on another Champions League final.
