But I thought Arsenal did well in the first half.

I thought, again, really early on, you had Madaweke sending up that cross to the back post that you had two players both running out that didn't quite go right.

But I thought they were creating chances early on.

I thought they had managed to do something that was really important by pushing the two fullbacks really, really high up.

In the first half, they really neutered that threat that Atletico can bring with their runners in transition.

We barely saw Adam Adelukman in the first half and he had Simeone being forced to drop back and he ends up coming off at half-time.

And that was, I think, a really important change by Atletico.

And Atletico responded, which was nice.

I like that back and forth when you see that between managers and they go, OK, that didn't work for us in the first half and we'll do something different.

And then Atletico, I thought were really, really good for the first half and now the second half.

So, yeah, I enjoyed it.

I thought it was an interesting back and forth.

And I think that it's a shame that we will ultimately have to talk a lot about penalty decisions because they did, of course, decide how the game ends up.

debate just makes me so furious but i'm so aware of repeating myself it's kind of not a debate i i know that everyone in england is frustrated by it i feel frustrated by it sometimes watching it but this is how it's been applied in most of the content this is a lot close to how it's applied in italy just think that this debate only exists in england and i'm not saying it's it's whether it's right or wrong because i don't like it as a penalty and i think lots of italians don't like it either i don't think that's like saying no one in in europe thinks it's annoying

But it's just kind of everyone's got over it.

And I feel like the English audience hasn't got over it.

found people's strength of reactions in both directions quite surprising because as Baz said some people seem absolutely certain this wasn't a penalty seem to think it was ridiculous that this could be considered a penalty and I don't see it as ridiculous it is clear contact how much the discussion is whether or not it's enough contact for it to justify the fall and I think it's pretty clear again it's clear that there's contact and it's clear that Luckman makes the most of it and I think it sits in the grey area and I'm kind of okay with it being given or not being given I do think

that is really boring to repeat it, but whatever I'm saying, which is, should the referee be overturning it, having made that decision, is kind of the talking point here.

One of the interesting points I saw made, there was a former official saying it somewhere I read this morning, saying that maybe one thing that should come out of this is perhaps clubs shouldn't be allowed to decide where the pitch side monitor goes.

Maybe that should go somewhere that's definitely away from having someone... Diego Simeone.
