We asked you how you’re feeling after Arsenal were beaten on penalties by Paris St-Germain in the Champions League final.
Here are some of your comments:
Pablo: So many people were saying PSG would wipe the floor with us. They didn’t, we went toe to toe – and in the end, the bitter pill of penalties. I’m incredibly proud of the boys. We’ll come back stronger next year. COYG!

Andy: The boys played well and did us proud. There’s no disgrace in losing to the current champions in a penalty shootout – especially when nobody gave us a chance.
David: It may be a loss in a Champions League final, but the season overall has been a success with winning the league. People might say Arsenal bottled it but, let’s be honest, PSG are a very good side. Penalties are never an easy way to decide a game. We move on and regroup over the summer and prepare for the challenge ahead next season. We will come again. Come on, you Gunners!
Louis: The best team won. Congrats to PSG. As an Arsenal fan, I was very frustrated with our tactics, sitting back and passing backwards and sideways. Only 25% possession and one shot on target says it all. Dreadful penalty misses.
Larissa: It was a great effort. I just feel we could have been more brave in extra time to go for the win. Two poor penalties but it’s fine lines. We had a great season – some good investment in the summer and we go again. Proud of the team.

Will: Arsenal defended superbly, but maybe just lacked that bit of magic PSG possess. So unfair that Gabi was the one to miss the penalty because he has been our wall at the back all season.
Lou: I remember back when we were still in the running for four trophies, my family asked me if I could have just one, which would I pick? I remember I said the Premier League; to sock it to Manchester City, who were smug in our faces when they overtook us three seasons ago, and to finally beat the bottle tag, stop saying ‘maybe next time’ and actually do it. Now, I’m sorry about the Champions League, but I’m still so proud those brave boys have got Premier League medals – and they deserve more in future years.
Martin: So much nonsense talked about this game. Possession is not control. PSG looked devoid of ideas and played with a lot of fear because Arsenal’s counter-attacks created the better chances. If there is a criticism of Arsenal, it’s that they didn’t have the courage to go for the jugular, when they were the more complete team.
