Fans think ‘cracks are showing’ between Mikel Arteta and Nicolas Jover after tense moment during Arsenal vs PSG

Fans have been reacting on social media after a moment between Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and set-piece coach Nicolas Jover went viral.

On Tuesday night, the Gunners welcomed French giants Paris Saint Germain to the Emirates Stadium for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.

During what was a tense affair, Ousmane Dembele's goal in the 4th minute sealed a narrow 1-0 victory for the visitors.

Towards the end of the match, a moment between Arteta and Jover went viral.

As reported by Football London, after a decision went against the hosts, Jover was seen trying to have words with the fourth official but was quickly pushed away by Arteta.

Jover was angered by referee Slavko Vincic's decision to award a free-kick to PSG after an apparent foul on goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: "Hmm, first, they briefed the press that Jover told Rice not to score the freekick against Madrid, and now Arteta has publicly humiliated him in front of hundreds of millions of people. Cracks showing."

Another tweeted: "Arteta sent Jover back to the bench."

A third fan added: "SET PIECE COACH STINKER AND SENT TO THE BENCH."

Someone else wrote: "Arteta pushing Jover to sit down after the free kick was the highlight of my night."

A fifth commented: "Arteta pushing Jover away. Get that brother off my screen forever trying to be the main character too much get to the back."

Reflecting on his side's first-leg defeat, Arteta said after the match: "It’s just half-time, I said exactly the same message after beating Real Madrid 3-0 at home.

"We go to Paris to win, and I fully believe that we can do it."

This weekend, Arsenal will be back in Premier League action when they take on Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon. After that, they will look to overturn the 1-0 deficit against PSG at the Parc des Princes.
