I'm in Milan.

I'm in Milan for Champions League for Inter Arsenal.

So looking forward to that.

How was the AFCON final, Gary?

Then what happened?

The players went into the dressing room?

How long was it?

There are other ways to miss a pen as well.

Yeah, worth the trip, that's for sure.

Yeah, it was from the moment the team bus arrived.

I've spoken to friends in Madrid and they have said they've never known the Bernabeu like it, unprecedented.

Yeah, they do show their feelings, but apparently this was like nothing they'd ever heard before, just from start to finish.

The white handkerchiefs were out everywhere.

boos, whistles, three players in particular were targeted being Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Feddy Valverde.

Yeah, they're the three that are deemed to have caused Xabi Alonso's sacking.

I think there's no evidence as such, but it's generally thought that those were the players that didn't buy into Xabi Alonso's sacking.

coaching style, his ideas, his plan, his project, whatever.

So it just, I don't know, it's not good, is it?

It's not good for the club.

Some players were exempt, Raul Asensio and Thibaut Courtois.
