Chelsea's post straight after Arsenal lose to PSG in Champions League final immediately goes…

Chelsea have immediately poked fun at their London rivals Arsenal on social media with a viral post following the Gunners' penalty shootout defeat to PSG in the Champions League final.

The Premier League champions took an early lead in the game through Kai Havertz, but they were pulled level by their Ligue 1 counterparts when Ousmane Dembele converted a penalty around the hour mark.

While both teams pushed for a winner, neither could be separated in regulation time nor extra time, meaning penalties would be needed for just the 12th time in the final of the Champions League.

Misses from Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhaes proved costly for Arsenal, as PSG retained the crown as champions of Europe, while the Gunners were mere inches from winning the title for the first time in the club's history.

That led to some rival fans poking fun at the side for coming so close, yet so far from glory, with Chelsea leading the pack with shots fired on social media.

Shortly after Arsenal's defeat in the Champions League final, Chelsea took to social media to have a cheeky dig at the Gunners for their lack of a European title.

The club posted on X and said: "Come and visit London’s Home of Trophies. Book your Stadium Tour at Stamford Bridge now."

The timing is hardly a coincidence, with the post showing off the Champions League and the Club World Cup, two tournaments that Arsenal are yet to add to their trophy cabinet.

Chelsea's inclusion of the two stars in the post were also a not-so subtle hint at the Blues sealing two Champions League wins in their history, claiming the title in 2012 and 2021.

It didn't take long for the post to go viral, with the West London outfit stealing a march on others who were looking to poke fun at Arsenal for their misery.

Tottenham star Richarlison later joined in, posting a video of a child laughing on his Instagram story, before posting a flushed emoji in an indirect shot aimed at his North London rivals.

It also continues an ongoing fued between Gabriel and Richarlison, with the pair often trading digs at each other on social media through the years.

The Gunners may have the last laugh, with their Premier League trophy parade on Sunday, but how they would've desperately wanted to add a Champions League trophy into the mix.
