In the Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal player Declan Rice stated that “it is not nice” that Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhaes failed to convert their penalty kicks. After 120 minutes, the score remained 1-1 as Ousmane Dembele equalised Kai Havertz’s early strike.
The winner of this year’s final game was determined by penalty kicks. Both Eze and Gabriel missed the mark, allowing PSG to keep the trophy.
A penalty missed in the Champions League final is never pleasant, according to Rice. However, we adore them. I mean, that’s just football. They won’t be the only ones to fail to convert a penalty in the championship game.
Penalties have been missed by all players. Our Premier League victory would not have been possible without those two players this year. We look on the bright side, even when it’s brutal.
