Saturday’s headline was Champions League glory for Arsenal, a momentous win, 18 years on from the final time they did it. Chelsea could have landed the home treble however its their north London rivals who’ve the largest prize.
Jonathan Liew, Suzanne Wrack and Tom Garry have been all there to take it in.
There’s a whistle, after which there’s a scream, after which there’s pure confusion. Arsenal have deliberate this recreation to the final element, rehearsed each final contingency, mapped out each potential situation. However not this one. Some run; some stagger. However in these earliest moments of triumph, wherever they’re on the pitch, by some means it feels telling that the primary intuition of those Arsenal gamers is to seek out one another.
