Tuesday afternoon was as joyous an affair as we’ve experienced at Maggie McGarry’s in some time. On the back of two sublime, surreal free kicks by Declan Rice, Arsenal bested Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final meeting.
Gooners cheered, screamed, hugged, and ran around like small children while a few beers were spilled in the ensuing celebration. Simply a great day to be at the pub. Besides this video, you can find pics on our Insta or Facebook.
Before we do it all over again for the second leg next Wednesday, there’s the small matter of Brentford Saturday. Despite the title looking like a foregone conclusion, there’s still a few league matches to be played and reasons to join us at Maggie’s.
Speaking of match days, if you attend regularly, enjoy meeting new Gooners, and want to get more involved, look me up at the pub.
Saturday’s lovely late kickoff means no excuses will be accepted. Look forward to seeing you all at the pub!
COYG!
Best, Mark.
