Jeremie Frimpong may have taken the crown as the Premier League's greatest troll after uploading a video responding to Arsenal's Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG retained their crown with a 4-3 penalty shootout win following a tense 1-1 draw.
Kai Havertz put Arsenal ahead inside five minutes, leaving many Gunners fans believing a first-ever Champions League triumph was on the cards.
Ousmane Dembele equalised midway through the second half from the penalty spot after Cristhian Mosquera fouled Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The Gunners did have a glorious chance to win it near the end of added time, with Viktor Gyokeres' effort deflecting wide.
What followed was a shootout that didn't go Mikel Arteta's side's way. Eberechi Eze put his spot-kick wide, although David Raya saved Nuno Mendes' to keep their hopes alive. PSG didn't falter again, however, and Gabriel skied Arsenal's fifth penalty high into the Puskas Arena to hand victory to Luis Enrique's men.
All eyes were on Budapest and several footballers across the globe were watching along at home. Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Tottenham's resident wind-up merchants, Richarlison and Djed Spence, hopped on social media to mock Arsenal immediately after full-time.
All of that pales in comparison to Frimpong. The Liverpool defender had friends and family round to check the game out, and when Gabriel's penalty flew over Matvei Safonov's head, they all jumped out of their seats and wildly celebrated.
The video, originally uploaded to Snapchat, was captioned 'Let it all work out'. That is a reference to a song titled 'Indecision' by Sampha, later sampled by Lil Wayne. The song has become synonymous with Arsenal over the past year, with the club using it in Eze's announcement video when he signed from Crystal Palace.
After seeing the footage go viral on social media, Frimpong decided to clear a few things up.
"Chill me and my friend made a bet, and I won, that's why I was happy," the 25-year-old posted on his Instagram story along with several laughing emojis and a shrug of the shoulders.

Mikel Arteta explained why Gabriel took a penalty
Arsenal didn't have to rely on Gabriel to take their last penalty. Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi were both available, but Arteta told TNT Sports in his post-match interview that Gabriel volunteered to be part of the first five.
More experienced forwards in Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard had already been substituted, meaning Arteta had less experienced forwards to choose from.
"He wanted to take it," Arteta said after the match.
"Normally, the penalty takers would be Bukayo [Saka], Martin [Odegaard] and Kai [Havertz]. But we knew that if the game went to extra time and penalties, different players would have to step forward."
