Yeah, the home advantage was really... I think Arsenal, I think they are a better side than Atletico Madrid.
I don't think that's a controversial take.
And I always fancied them to beat Atletico or at least sort of, you know, do enough, you know, sort of edge them by the odd goal, which they did, of course.
But that home advantage, particularly in the second leg, it was incredible.
Saka said post-match, didn't he, that he'd never seen an atmosphere like it at the Emirates and kind of reminded everybody that it's probably the biggest game ever at the Emirates, which I thought was a very fair point.
As I say, the atmosphere and so on, it was something else.
And they were getting the last 15 minutes, every interception, everything was celebrated.
Come on, come on, you can do this.
And this was despite me trying to remind all the Arsenal fans that if they do go on to win the Champions League, they'll be the worst European champions of all time.
And I don't understand why UEFA can't do anything about that.
I did get them going in the area with a lovely 1-0 to the Arsenal chant.
But it was a good performance all round.
It was a tight game, as it was always going to be.
And I thought in that second half, there was a maturity about it.
