Rooney criticizes Arsenal fans after PSG defeat

Wayne Rooney criticized both Arsenal's performance and their home fans following the team's 1-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final first leg. Rooney noted that after an energetic display from supporters during the previous round against Real Madrid, the Emirates crowd appeared subdued and failed to provide the same level of support. He suggested that both the players and fans seemed complacent, possibly believing that beating Real Madrid guaranteed further progression in the tournament. According to Rooney, the lack of energy from the stands may have contributed to Arsenal's underwhelming display, and he emphasized that in high-stakes matches, strong fan support can make a significant difference. Rooney also highlighted PSG's tactical superiority and warned that Arsenal must remain patient and disciplined in the second leg. Ultimately, he argued that both the team and its supporters need to raise their standards in crucial fixtures.
