But we love them, we are with them, and that happens in football. They are not going to be the last players to miss penalties in finals. Everyone has missed a penalty, and without those two this season, we wouldn’t have won the Premier League, that is for sure.“I’ve run out of words for Gabriel, as a person, as a player. Eze as well. The crucial goals he has come up with this year. It is cruel, but it’s football.”Arsenal celebrated their first men’s title in 22 years on Sunday with a parade through the streets of north London. The club estimated that between 750,000 and one million people attended the event.On Sunday, Eze, 27, said on Instagram: “(I’m) in love with this journey and I thank God for every single part of it.” Gabriel joined Arsenal in 2020 and has made 261 appearances for the club.
