🚨Rafael van der Vaart criticizes Arsenal for having a parade after their UCL final defeat. 🗣️: “If you lose a Champions League final, the last thing you expect is a trophy parade hours later. That alone shows a mentality problem. At clubs like Real Madrid or Barcelona, there would be silence, reflection, even anger because those clubs understand what it means to compete at the highest level. What Arsenal did feels like a smaller club mentality, celebrating participation rather than achievement. The difference with teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona is simple: they don’t measure success by reaching finals, they measure it by winning them. For them, anything else is failure, not something to parade. Winning the Premier League is a great achievement, no doubt, but clubs like Arsenal have to decide what their standard really is"
