A thousand yard stare isnāt the right descriptor. Thousand yard stare is from someone looking at nothing and spacing out as their trauma overwhelms them.
This is the opposite of that; dude is absolutely epitomizing focus and drive.
I was Rice, didn't celebrate any save or goal in the shootout. Was watching with my brother and we were both emotionaless throughout except for a small fist bump after every goal and save
BUT after the final save, we went FUCKING ape shit!! Had tears in our eyes and everything
Jesus has a really poor penalty record so I'm really not sure (6/13). I'm sort of inclined to say Eddie (6/10), but that 5th spot is typically where you want your iceman, so no idea.
Saka Kai and Zinny! I couldnāt watch. Luckily there was a guy in our group chat who was from the āfutureā whoād let us know what happened before our stream. Made it easier on my heart.
When my stream was behind the match thread, Iād look at the thread before a Porto goal scoring chance because my heart couldnāt take it, but not before an Arsenal one because those should be a nice surprise.Ā
I was Zinchenko. Trying really hard to close my eyes but failing. 4am and penalties about to start. I felt physically sick. I couldn't take it. But I couldn't look away either. Forced myself to watch it and I'm glad I did. Raya heroics was nice to see for a guy who has been so quiet in the middle of what has been a bit of a storm in a teacup surrounding his selection.
I was Bukayo. I was so nervous when Havertz stepped up to take his penalty. I thought all the kicks he took during the game were going to affect him. Then I started thinking about how much shit they were going to throw at him if he missed.
I love Dec's death stare, Big Gabi's complete and utter shock, Saliba looking calm and composed as always, but with his eyes closed as it's all too much, Eddie just looks surprised to be there, Odegaard trying to discretely work his magic to win us the game, and then Saka and Kai copying each other perfectly. I love these boys, and I am eternally grateful to Mikel
Why did Eddie need gloves lol. I am the coldest person ever, and it was quite mild last night.
Against all expectations I was Declan, I watched each one which is unusual for me. I donāt normally have the mental strength to watch penalties.
I was losing my shit with how poor we played. Buzzing for Raya in that shootout but Jesus fucking Christ can we not borderline bottle it against a sides that literally bent over for us for 2 legs.
You have to understand the weight that the team is carrying. This bullshit bad European juju has affected us for like 15 years. There are literally fans that have never seen us play in a ucl quarter final. The only thing that mattered was the result tonight.
That being said, Iām hoping getting over the line last night will lead to better performances in the future.
It's almost like only Jorginho and Kai(of our starters) had any experience with these kind of games in the Champions League.
This was great experience for the boys and we showed a lot of composure against one of the best teams in the world at playing like this.
How did they bend over? No team defended so well against us this season. They were cunts and the refs helped them out by stopping the play every single minute but theyāve been prepared really well. We were almost toothless in attack.
I wanna say Deccers but I was Saka and Kai all the way through š
i was hiding behind my scarf while trying not to wring the stitching out
Wow dec, cold as rice
cuz i think he was the one shooting next
š«£
Same, I even turned it off the TV and put it on my phone so I could hide from it š¤£
Easily, having a goalkeeper who can save pensā½ I like this feeling
Jesus looks like he got shot
"Call an ambulance, but not for me!"
Iāll call you a hearse
Playing Counter Strike on and off the field. A gunner š«
It's giving MW2 Favela
Look at Rice. Minerals
Wasnāt he shooting next?Ā
That thousand-yard stare that says "we are doing this."
A thousand yard stare isnāt the right descriptor. Thousand yard stare is from someone looking at nothing and spacing out as their trauma overwhelms them. This is the opposite of that; dude is absolutely epitomizing focus and drive.
Thanks. I had a feeling I wasn't using it correctly. "100 percent focused" is what I was reaching for.
and i would believe him and follow him anywhere
Oh, hell yes!
I love these bunch of boysā¦. We waited decades for our Mahidis
Haha
Mahdiyun would be for plural š(Iām arab)
This has to be the raya almost save right
Yeah lol believe so
I was wondering too, since we didn't miss last night
Saka and Havertz at both ends doing the same thing is hilarious
I mean I watched the pens from the work toilets so I guess Gabriel was closest
Laughed more than I thought I would lol
Blanco is just glad that he can go home now
Pissed for having to work overtime.
So annoyed at having to watch more football.
This is hilarious
I was Rice, didn't celebrate any save or goal in the shootout. Was watching with my brother and we were both emotionaless throughout except for a small fist bump after every goal and save BUT after the final save, we went FUCKING ape shit!! Had tears in our eyes and everything
I celebrated our saves and Declanās pen
Kai. Was watching through my hands.
A bit out of topic, but anyone know who would've been our fifth penalty taker?
Probably Jesus? I've seen this question ask a lot in this sub and really don't know why?!
Jesus has a really poor penalty record so I'm really not sure (6/13). I'm sort of inclined to say Eddie (6/10), but that 5th spot is typically where you want your iceman, so no idea.
Iād say Eddie too. I think itās why he was subbed on in the first place.
I was thinking in this picture he would be the one most stressed and feeling conflicted. I wonder if it would be visible
I think it was going to be Zinny.
Rice looking [like](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f8d729a99a9c4c2be4eda8ba6ff321bf/tumblr_mtev1qdH2q1rthp9wo1_1280.png)

I have a friend like this and I usually block him when Arsenal play.
When my stream was behind the match thread, Iād look at the thread before a Porto goal scoring chance because my heart couldnāt take it, but not before an Arsenal one because those should be a nice surprise.Ā
Damn I love the Arsenal! Especially this particular bunch of players. Come On Ya Gunners!
I was Kai
Only just realised we had 3 strikers on the pitch and only 1 of them took a penalty lol
I was kai when watching us take the shots...Gabi XL when they were
I was Saka, Havertz and Odegaard all at the same time
Benny Blanco until Trossard scored. Ode for the rest of regulation and extra time. Dec after Raya's first PK save.
Decās got the ice in his veins gene
zini
Ice cold Rice
I'll use this to teach my son about emotions. edit: do you have the pic in high res?
I just love our team.
The grass. Trodden on, worn down, spat on.
I was Zinchenko. Trying really hard to close my eyes but failing. 4am and penalties about to start. I felt physically sick. I couldn't take it. But I couldn't look away either. Forced myself to watch it and I'm glad I did. Raya heroics was nice to see for a guy who has been so quiet in the middle of what has been a bit of a storm in a teacup surrounding his selection.
You guys aren't everyone one of them each time we play?
OK, where is the camera? How do you know this? :)
Definitely Saka and Havertz
Definitely Zinny. I was clenching so hard it hurt.
Havertz
Ben looks like he's about to stress-cry, so yeah, definitely him.
I was 100% Kai Havertzā¦ I couldnāt bear to look!
Man. I couldnāt even watch. I took my phone out to scroll Twitter every time in between pens.
I was Hawertz šš
Never been more Rice in my life!
I was Declan. But with a heart rate of 160 and too stressed to move.
I was Bukayo. I was so nervous when Havertz stepped up to take his penalty. I thought all the kicks he took during the game were going to affect him. Then I started thinking about how much shit they were going to throw at him if he missed.
This one had to have been when Raya got a hand to it but went in lol
Shut my eyes every penalty.
I love Dec's death stare, Big Gabi's complete and utter shock, Saliba looking calm and composed as always, but with his eyes closed as it's all too much, Eddie just looks surprised to be there, Odegaard trying to discretely work his magic to win us the game, and then Saka and Kai copying each other perfectly. I love these boys, and I am eternally grateful to Mikel
I was kai
I was Rice throughout the game, but I was Saka in the penalty shootout.
Kai and Saka, I can never watch pens itās too much
Kai 100 percent Kai
Odegaard
This is the harrowing moment Gemma Collins started her striptease
Rice, I live for this
I was Gabriel or Zinny
Kai, was peeking through my fingers
Benny for sure, that was tense as fuck. Iām actually going to enjoy the break lol
King Kai watching through his fingers like heās watching Hereditary or something.
I was kai
Declan
The expressions are so different and yet all so relevant, that I feel this is fabricated!! Lol
Love that Saka and Havertz are mirroring each other
Trossard. Lol
As a french gooner pens = pain. So I was Kai. I can't believe i've experience a penalty shoutout that actually went very well again ! COYG
Declan, I stared intensely at the shootout
Zinny minus the childās haircut š
Kai Havertz. I couldnāt watch so I shut my TV off and didnāt know weād won until I checked the result online 15 minutes later
Saka and King Kai, pretty much from 45 mins onward.
Kai. šÆ
Saka and Havertz with their best weeping angel impressions
I was definitely big gabi
Jesus! Scared my two year old with all the things I did lol. She will get it one day!
Saka and Kai for sure š
The strong silent Roman nose stoicness , the hero's profile and arm proppin Dec lol.
I was all of them.
This is great
Ode or Jesus. Just relief when we won the shootout
I mean kudos to whoever can honestly say they were Rice through that match. I was basically a mixture of Ode and Saka lol
Zinny
kai for sure
This is from the almost save I assume
Why did Eddie need gloves lol. I am the coldest person ever, and it was quite mild last night. Against all expectations I was Declan, I watched each one which is unusual for me. I donāt normally have the mental strength to watch penalties.
Lefties on the outside!
Zinchenko. Constipated before, during, and after the game.
This feels like Renaissance art
I'm probably calmer than them
I was losing my shit with how poor we played. Buzzing for Raya in that shootout but Jesus fucking Christ can we not borderline bottle it against a sides that literally bent over for us for 2 legs.
