      Man Utd legend Patrice Evra compares Arsenal failure to interrupted sex in bizarre video after PSG defeat

      by

      PATRICE EVRA bizarrely compared Arsenal’s failure to interrupted sex in his latest bonkers video.The former Manchester United star, 43, posted on X last night just minutes after the full-time whistle in Paris.Arsenal suffered Champions League heartbreak in ParisCredit: GettyPatrice Evra took to X with a bizarre video comparing the exit to interrupted sexCredit: INSTAGRAMPSG beat Arsenal 2-1 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate to book their spot in the Champions League final.It means Mikel Arteta’s wait for his next trophy as Gunners boss will extend beyond five years since the 2020 FA Cup. And Evra went on another rogue monologue.The Frenchman expressed his sympathy for the Gunners manager and players before bringing up his ‘Netflix’ jibe again – that Arsenal fans always have to wait for the next season.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut then he made his graphic and tasteless metaphor. Evra said in the video: “I feel sorry for Arsenal, I think people are being really hard on them.”I love Arteta anyway, he is a good friend.”I think people have no problem with Arsenal players. People have a problem with their fans – they believe anything.Most read in Champions LeagueCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”I would even say I’m not sure I would do business with an Arsenal fan because they will promise you lots of things but it will never actually [deliver].”We talk about Netflix – Netflix season 21 is on its way I think they started recording. ‘Upset’ Mikel Arteta claims there ‘hasn’t been a better team’ than Arsenal in the Champions League in blunt interview”It’s banter – I love Arsenal. “You can’t hate your babies, it’s impossible.”I think I would give the example… imagine you have a good time with your wife or your girlfriend or your fiancée and you enjoy it… mmm oh la la.”And the moment you are about to put some seed, someone grabs you.”It’s really painful and you get really frustrated because you want to make a Premier League or a Champions League baby but it’s always the same story.”So I’m sorry. I’m not trying to create the buzz with you guys but I love you.”Let’s get ready for the next season and I hope for you that United, Tottenham or Chelsea doesn’t win a trophy this year because this is going to be terrible.”MMA hopeful Evra then signed off his post – captioned “only love and banter” – by shouting his trademark: “I love this game.”The video racked up 1.9million views within 12 hours of being posted.And it prompted a wave of replies, including from Evra’s old United team-mate Rio Ferdinand. Ferdinand missed covering the game in Paris for TNT Sports as he was admitted to hospital.But he was well enough to comment on the video, typing: “Broooooo,” followed by two laughing emojis. Various other rival supporters also relished in Arsenal’s European heartbreak – with plenty of cruel memes posted mocking their exit. Arsenal started well in the second leg but were constantly denied by a red-hot Gianluigi Donnarumma in the PSG goal. Fabian Ruiz’s sweet strike made it 2-0 on aggregate before David Raya saved a penalty.But Achraf Hakimi’s finish put the game to bed – even despite Bukayo Saka’s consolation. Saka then squandered a glorious chance over the bar which could have set up a grandstand finish. Arteta, though, was proud of his side’s efforts last night and throughout the competition – even claiming the Gunners were the best team in this season’s Champions League. The Spaniard said: “I’m upset. We were very close for long periods of both games. We were much better than them.”The assessment, I will make it when I’m a little bit cooler, but the feedback that I got is straight away from their bench is that we were much better than them.”When you look at the two games, who’s been their best player on the pitch, the goalkeeper. He’s made a difference for them in the tie.”I don’t think there has been a better team in the competition so far.Read More on The Sun”But we are out tonight and we deserve much more in both games.”But this competition is about the boxes, the strikers and a goalkeeper, who was their best player in both games.”Arsenal ratings v PSG ARSENAL’S Champions League dream ended in tears as they failed to revolt against Paris Saint-Germain in Paris.The Gunners came flying out of the blocks and tested Gianluigi Donnarumma early, but it seemed it was going to be one of those nights from the get go. And so it proved.Despite early pressure, Arsenal found themselves behind following a Fabian Ruiz volley.Achraf Hakimi then added a brutal second mere moments after David Raya had kept Arsenal in the tie by denying Vitinha from the penalty spot.But Bukayo Saka, who had been denied all night by old nemesis Donnarumma, finally bested the Italian in the 76th minute when he made the most of a deflected cross to round him and fire into the net.With the deficit on the night halved, Saka then had the chance to level the score as he was found free in the middle with an open goal at his mercy.But the winger was unable to keep the ball down once he made contact and saw his effort sail miles over the bar.PSG then saw out the result without further worry to book their spot in the Munich final against Inter Milan.Here’s how SunSport’s Jordan Davies rated the Gunners in Paris.

      Pep Guardiola and wife Cristina Serra ‘still estranged and will remain so’ despite reports they were rekindling marriage

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY manager Pep Guardiola and his wife Cristina Serra “are still estranged” and “will remain so” unless anything dramatic occurs, reports in Spain say.It was claimed last month the couple were trying to give their marriage a second chance after Guardiola and his fashion entrepreneur wife spent three days together at their former Barcelona marital home over Easter.Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, remain estranged following their splitCredit: AlamyThings will remain the same unless something dramatic occursCredit: GettyIt was the second time since news of their shock split became public in January that the former Barcelona footballer had travelled to the Catalan capital and spent time with Cristina.Barcelona-based newspaper El Nacional said after the second reunion they were prepared to “give each another chance” and claimed “all was not lost in their marriage.”But the journalists who broke the story of their shock split last night shot down the chances of a fresh start for Pep and Cristina after their decision to call time on their 30-year relationship.Lorena Vasquez, one of a duo of well-respected Spanish showbiz reporters who call themselves the Mamarazzis, went on a Spanish TV show in February to say they had launched divorce proceedings which were “amicable” because they were using the same lawyer.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLShe also linked the split again to the Man City manager’s unexpected decision last November to renew his contract with the Premier League club until 2027.Overnight, shooting down possibilities of a reunion, Lorena’s colleague Laura Fa said on the Mamarrazis podcast: “It’s been speculated recently that there could exist a possibility of a reconciliation because Pep Guardiola had been seen at his house in Barcelona with the woman who is still his wife and their youngest daughter.“We had already explained that despite separating they would continue to see each other as a family.“That’s why after separating Pep and Cristina went to the theatre with their daughter.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS“As the talk of conciliation was so strong we have continued to investigate.”Lorena added: “A lot of this has come about one of the visits Pep made to Barcelona when a photographer managed to get a photo of him.Pep Guardiola aims sly dig at rivals Man Utd hours after their heroic Europa League comeback “We were able to confirm Pep Guardiola spent three days in the city and slept for at least two nights in the house in Barcelona he bought with Cristina where their daughter still lives.“What we know is that the separation is continuing its course and there’s no reconciliation and as far as Cristina is concerned there’s no attempt at reconciliation.“She was the one who sparked the split and gave Pep a sort of ultimatum and he could still be trying to come to terms with the situation.”Laura said: “The house Pep spends time in when he is in Barcelona is still the family home and will be the place he comes to when he returns to the city to see his children or when there are family events here.“Pep and Cristina continue to have a good relationship.“We don’t have many more details about the couple’s intimacy but we can confirm that they are still separated and there is no reconciliation on the horizon.“The thing is that when there’s a good relationship between a couple who have split, it can sometimes cause confusion.”Lorena Vazquez claimed on Spanish TV ‘Y Ahora Sonsoles’ on Antena 3 channel in February: “The divorce is being prepared conscientiously and they have left it in the hands of people they really trust.“What surprises me the most is that both of them have the same lawyer who is arranging the whole thing.“They want it to be amicable for the sake of their children.”She added: “As you can imagine money is not going to be an issue and they are now agreeing on the initial terms to make sure this separation is the most cordial possible.”She went on to say, when asked why she thought Pep was still wearing his wedding ring: “It’s surprising he’s still wearing his wedding ring and I wouldn’t be able to tell you if it’s a symbol he wants to carry on wearing as a homage to his marriage or as an open door to reconciliation, because what we’re being told is that he would perhaps be more open to that than his wife.“What I’m also being told is that Cristina is suffering with the fact her name has come to the fore.Guardiola’s split from his wife was announced earlier this yearCredit: Getty“She has been a person who has always been in the background who never wanted to be known or recognised as the partner of Pep Guardiola although she is very proud to be married to him.“But seeing herself in glossy magazines and seeing herself as the object of the tabloid press is something she doesn’t like at all.“But we know they are very happy that the news has finally come out, or rather than happy I would say relieved.“We had little information when we first came out with the news but we knew it was true, so much so that they themselves have now transmitted the news to all their close friends because initially they wanted to keep information back about the details of the separation.“They are still keeping that information back but they are confirming to anyone that asks them that they are separated.“Although they don’t like being protagonists in anything, there is certain relief on their part that finally their split has come out, there are no third people involved, and that it’s down to Pep’s contract renovation with Manchester City that became very burdensome and was also a surprise for Cristina.Cristina insisted she was “feeling great” in her first comments since news of their split emerged in January as she was pictured shopping alone in Barcelona.She opted for silence when she was subsequently asked by a Spanish reporter about the cause of their break-up and has refused to comment whenever she has been approached since.The couple’s eldest daughter Maria opened up on her parents’ lessons about love after becoming the first family member to speak since the shock news of their split.The pretty influencer and fashionista said in a Spanish magazine interview published around the same time her dad’s break-up with Cristina emerged: “My parents have always advised me to find what I am passionate about.“They encourage me to try new things, to accept failure and to keep searching until I find my calling, because when I do, full dedication will come naturally.“They also remind me that the most important thing in life is to love and be loved.”Read More on The SunThe 24-year-old London-based beauty went on to tell Vanity Fair Spain: “In the end it all comes down to feeling loved.“Even in situations where we feel out of place, they tell me to listen carefully to others, there is always something valuable to learn from each person we meet.” More
