Following Arsenal's 4-3 loss on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final, reactions from disappointed supporters have flooded social media across Nigeria. 

The defeat, which denied Arsenal a first European title, left many fans heartbroken, with the penalty shootout proving to be the decisive moment after a tense night of football.

Immediately after the loss, one Nigerian fan took off his Arsenal jersey and walked alone onto a main road at night, visibly angry and frustrated. In a video now circulating online, he poured petrol on the red shirt and set it ablaze on the roadside, as the flames lit up the dark street while onlookers watched from a distance.

Speaking while the jersey burned, the man vowed not to ever support Arsenal again, saying he could no longer endure the repeated disappointment. He then produced a Chelsea jersey, held it up, and declared that he was leaving Arsenal behind to join the Chelsea fanbase.
