Jeremie Frimpong has issued a statement on social media after a video of him celebrating Arsenal's Champions League final defeat emerged online.
Arsenal were aiming to win their second piece of silverware of the 2025/26 season after capturing the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years.
The Gunners were tasked with taking on defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, who won the competition last season following their 5-0 drubbing of Inter Milan.
But Mikel Arteta's team fell short in their bid to become European champions after succumbing to PSG on penalties. Kai Havertz opened the scoring in normal time with a stunning finish in just the sixth minute. Ousmane Dembele equalised from the spot just after the hour mark following a collision between Cristhian Mosquera and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the box.
The game went to extra-time before a penalty shootout, where PSG ran out 4-3 winners following Gabriel's missed penalty.

Eberechi Eze and Gabriel fluffed their lines from the spot in the shootout, handing PSG their second Champions League title.
Arsenal's rivals were out in full force following their Champions League final heartbreak, including Chelsea, who released a statement after posting a controversial post on social media.
Not to mention Liverpool star Frimpong, who watched on and celebrated when Gabriel blazed his effort over the bar. A video shows him celebrating Arsenal's downfall in a room of people.
He could be seen cheering and celebrating PSG's triumph with a child, while appearing to goad another person.
Footage surfaced on TikTok, accompanied by the caption: "Let it all work out," a reference to a song called 'Indecision' by Sampha.

After a video of Frimpong celebrating Arsenal's Champions League misery emerged online, he took to social media to defend himself.
The Dutchman claims to have made a bet with his friends and won.
On his Instagram story, he wrote: "Chill me and my friend made a bet, and I won, that's why I was happy," alongside two laughing emojis and a person shrugging emoji.
Frimpong wasn't the only footballer to celebrate Arsenal's Champions League final defeat to PSG. Tottenham duo Djed Spence and Richarlison both took to social media after Arsenal lost on penalties.
And, as mentioned, Chelsea also poked fun at their London rivals, not to mention Crystal Palace, who referenced their Conference League triumph.
While Arsenal ended their 22-year wait for a league title, their wait for a European trophy continues to drag on.
