Nigeria Reacts as PSG Down Arsenal in UCL Final
PSG became back-to-back European champions as Arsenal’s long wait for a first title went on.
Paris Saint-Germain retained the UEFA Champions League title on May 30, edging Arsenal 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw at the Puskas Arena, and the result lit up Nigerian social media.
Kai Havertz gave Arsenal the lead after six minutes, but Ousmane Dembele equalised from the penalty spot on 65 minutes, and the match went the distance until the shootout settled it.
By retaining the title, PSG became repeat European champions, a feat not many sides pull off, sealed under manager Luis Enrique.
In Nigeria, the final topped X charts, as hashtags and names such as “Congratulations to PSG”, “#PSGARS”, Mbappe, Vitinha and Dembele mixing with a wave of Arsenal reaction from heartbroken supporters.
