Arsenal midfielder, Declan Rice, has said “it is not nice” that Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhaes missed their penalty kicks in the Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The game ended 1-1 after 120 minutes, after Kai Havertz’s early goal was cancelled out by Ousmane Dembele.
This year’s final was eventually decided via spot-kicks.
Eze and Gabriel failed to hit the target, as PSG retained their trophy.
Rice said: “Missing a penalty in a Champions League final isn’t nice. But we love them. Look, that happens in football.
“They aren’t going to be the last players to miss a penalty in finals.
“Everyone has missed a penalty. Without them two this season, we wouldn’t have won the Premier League. It’s cruel, but we take the positives.”
