Richarlison, Djed Spence and Erling Haaland immediately react to Arsenal losing Champions League final
It didn't take long for three of the Premier League's most notorious wind-up merchants to post on social media after Arsenal lost the Champions League final on penalties.
Paris Saint-Germain successfully defended their Champions League crown on a dramatic Saturday night in Budapest.
Luis Enrique's side ran out 4-3 winners on penalties over Arsenal following a 1-1 draw in normal time, with Goncalo Ramos, Desire Doue, Achraf Hakimi and Lucas Beraldo converting from the spot.
Gabriel Magalhaes would send his decisive penalty over the crossbar, sealing victory for PSG and ensuring they became only the 10th club in history to win back-to-back Champions League titles.

Arsenal, meanwhile, missed out on their first UCL trophy, a result that appeared to amuse Tottenham forward Richarlison, who posted a video of a laughing child on Instagram, just moments after the final whistle.
He also used a flushed face emoji as his caption.

A short time later, Manchester City forward Erling Haaland took to social media but unlike Richarlison, he delivered a more subtle take, posting a picture of himself smiling with three of his friends.
Of course, Haaland has a long-running rivalry with Gabriel Magalhaes, who missed the final penalty against PSG, after the pair clashed in September 2024, when the Norwegian threw a ball at his head.
When asked if he regretted the incident, Haaland replied: "I don’t regret much in life."
The timing of Haaland's post did not go unnoticed, with thousands of fans commenting on the upload.
One wrote: "The caption writes itself," and a second commented: "Generational. I just know he was in absolute hysterics."
A third said: "Proper rage baiter, I respect that," and a fourth added: "No way Haaland just did this to Gabriel."

As well as the above, Tottenham defender Djed Spence took to social media to repost a video that Arsenal uploaded in February, which shows him being dispossessed by Bukayo Saka.
After the caption from Arsenal read: "Locked up", the England international responded with an eyes emoji and the unlocked emoji.
Chelsea aim dig at Arsenal immediately after Champions League final defeat to PSG
Just minutes after the final whistle in Budapest, Chelsea aimed a not-so-subtle dig at the Gunners via their Instagram page.
The Blues, who finished ninth in this season's Premier League and won't play European football at all next term, posted an advertisement for Stamford Bridge stadium tours, including a visit to what they described as 'London's Home of Trophies'.
Chelsea won the Champions League final on penalties against Bayern Munich in 2012 under the management of Roberto Di Matteo.
"Come and visit London's Home of Trophies," they wrote, alongside a picture of the Champions League trophy. "Book your Stadium Tour at Stamford Bridge now via the link on our story or in our bio."
