It was a surprise to see the former Lille centre-back step up to take a penalty in the first place.

Being the Parisians’ skipper, the former Roma defender could well have simply wheeled off in celebration after the tight affair ended up in the Ligue 1 winners’ favour.

Ultimately, Arsenal fans will feel bad for Gabriel, considering he has been consistently brilliant under Mikel Arteta’s stewardship.

But the Arsenal fanbase will collectively be ruing the 28-year-old’s miss, as he even failed to test Matvei Safanov.

The defender had an terrific game at the back and throughout this season, he has been world-class.

Anyone can miss a penalty, especially a central defender but at the end of the day, what Gabriel has done for Arsenal for years now has been nothing short of heroic.
