Arsenal suffered Champions League final defeat to PSG in Budapest after defender Gabriel Magalhaes missed his decisive penalty shootout attempt. The Brazilian defender, who had played "immense" all season according to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, was questioned for being chosen as the fifth penalty taker. "I don't know why he [Gabriel] went, I don't know how he arrived to be the fifth guy in," Henry told CBS Sports. Despite missing the crucial penalty, Gabriel "didn't hide" from the responsibility according to Henry. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta later revealed Gabriel had actually wanted to take the last penalty for the team. This defeat ends Arsenal's European campaign for the season, with many fans now questioning the penalty shootout strategy used by Arteta in such a high-stakes match.
