Raise your head big Gabi. No amount of pen misses will make us forget what you have done to our football club. You are a real soldier and nothing will break you @biel_m04
🗣️ Declan Rice to TNT on losing the #UCL Final. "It's a lottery. Some of the best teams ever have lost on penalties in finals, and we were on the receiving end.
"We win and lose together, and I am so proud of these boys. What a season! I am gutted, but trying to keep a little perspective of where we started in July and where we are now. We'll be back.
"[On Gabriel and Eze], we love them and we are with them. It happens in football. They won't be the last players to miss penalties in finals, and without those two we wouldn't have won the Premier League.
"Gabriel, I have run out of words for him as a player and with Eze, he's got crucial goals for us this season. It's cruel, but we'll take the positives and keep going."
For me it was a BIG mistake to have Gabriel Magalhães 🇧🇷 as our fifth penalty there ❌ A BIG mistake. But ultimately if you told me at the start of this season that we would win the Premier League pretty comfortably in the end and lose in the UCL final on sudden death penalties I would have taken that https://t.co/WdiqyVz6bQ.OF.THE.WEEK. 💯
An epic season overall. I couldn’t be more proud of this club, the players, the manager and all his staff. ❤️
That is so so cruel. Gabriel didn’t deserve that. We didn’t deserve that.
I’m sad, but I’m so proud of this team.
Champions of England, we go again next season.
2025/26 you’ve been a joy. Over and out.
