UCL final: Not nice – Declan Rice speaks on Eze, Gabriel missing penalties against PSG

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.”
