Episode 3226: Arsenal Finish The Job, Ken Meets Sol
“In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of; it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe that it is nothing but a paper tiger.”
Arsenal refused to submit to Real Madrid’s brainwashing and swept aside the paper tiger with a 2-1 win at the Bernabéu. We talk about a second 5-1 aggregate knockout in three years for the ailing Spanish club.
