talkSPORT’s Jason Cundy branded Arsenal fans ‘shameless’ by suggesting they stole a Liverpool song in their Champions League clash.
Arsenal will travel to the Allianz Arena next Wednesday with the scores level in their Champions League tie against Bayern Munich after an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
However, Mikel Arteta might feel this was a missed opportunity with Bayern fans not allowed in at the Arsenal stadium while the 60,000-ground was full of Gooners.
They made for a fine atmosphere but one moment got under Cundy’s skin after Arsenal fans starting singing ‘Allez, Allez, Allez’ in the second half.
When asked by Jamie O’Hara on talkSPORT what he thought about the atmosphere, Cundy said: “Can I ask Arsenal fans? They are singing ‘Allez, Allez, Allez’?
“The Liverpool Champions League song? It is shameless! They have got no shame!
“Liverpool won the Champions League and they are signing a Liverpool song? I mean come on, Gooners. You must have your own song.
“Allez, Allez, Allez? Halfway through the game? And you’re not even in the lead at that stage!
“And you are singing a Liverpool song when they won the Champions League! Shameless. They are shameless.”
While the original chant goes back many years, Liverpool fans popularised it at the 2018 Champions League final in Kyiv.

The Reds went on to lose the final to Real Madrid but the chant stuck around, being continually sung by Liverpool supporters throughout their escapades around Europe.
It became their anthem for the following season’s Champions League run where they went all the way, beating Tottenham in the final.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have never won the Champions League, though they did reach the final in 2006 where they lost to Barcelona.
This season, some Gunners fans might believe they have a chance to finally lift the trophy amid a brilliant campaign where they currently sit at the top of the Premier League.
Their first leg against Bayern ended 2-2 with Bukayo Saka scoring the opener only for two former north Londoners in Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane to put the visitors ahead.
Leandro Trossard netted a late equaliser after coming on from the bench but there was controversy when Saka thought he was fouled in the box in the fifth minute of stoppage time by Manuel Neuer.
