Starting with Christensen I thought that was his best performance since the first part of last season (before the Barca game and what went on afterwards), he was absolutely brilliant and didn't give Auba or Lacazette a sniff. Hopefully such a performance in a European final gives him the confidence to kick on and become the defender he was firmly on course to becoming a couple of years back.
And now to Giroud, I was really worried about his inclusion in the weeks leading up to this game. While I would never in a million years think he'd throw a game when he played at The Emirates he looked very emotionally overwhelmed playing against his old club and his performance absolutely stunk as a result. I was worried about a Torres/Liverpool esque situation where it became so bad it negatively effected the whole team but the total opposite happened, he held the play up well all night, put his personal feeling for Arsenal well and truly to one side and was unlucky not to have opened the scoring before he actually did.

Very pleased with and for AC last night,I thought he was outstanding,he seems to have matured, and realises he can be a great player for us in the future.
Also Dave gave a true captains performance, well done Dave.
OG scored a brilliant goal,just when i was getting edgy.
Kepa looked nervy though to start with,but he's still young ,and again he's for the future.
No complaints overall,well done lads.

And best of all, DT loses his sh!t on his ArsenalFanTV rant when someone dares to assert, 100% correctly, that Arsenal's misery is good for his views

I thought Kovacic really grew into the game as well.

I don’t think Emerson getting enough credit for last night as well..assisted first goal which started the good performance second half, won the ball high press for third goal I think, in general his pace and overlapping runs suits the flow of our game

The final against City he was brilliant defensively, I was wary he didn't offer enough going forward but as his confidence has grown (with more minutes) so has his attacking threat.

Nah he was very poor defensively. Got beaten a few times with ease and was caught out of position a lot. Going forward he was good always gave Hazard the option to play it wide.

Even his cross for Giroud wasn’t great but what a header.

The main question still remains...what the fack happened to Arsenal...so never turned up, despite needing this so much more than us...it was disgraceful from them really, given the players we had missing
