    Probably because he stepped up to take one

    Not sure why Gabi was taking a penalty. Madueke or Zubi should have been stepping up there.

    Aw well that's that. As I said all along i'd be happy with winning the league. This would have been a bonus but we didn't play well tonight with hardly a shot on target apart from the goal.

    Sickening to lose it that way. No doubt we will win it soon though. So proud of this team this season. Will learn and come back stronger.

    Devastated. Some awful attempts from Raya, he was gone a week early for some of them

    At least we won the league.
    We were muck today, we couldn’t pass or control the ball at all. Our tactic was pass back to Raya, and he lumps it up.

    This is my biggest grip, Eze stupid stutter run was a banker to miss. But madueke and Zubimendi letting Gabriel go before them is criminal.

    Any penalty taker should get it on target at least. Commiserations. Fine margins.

    Absolutely cannot stand seeing those awful run ups but at least he had the balls to take one. How in the name of God is Gabriel taking our last pen???

    Gutted. They had the ref in their pocket & we still got them to penalties. The only team to score from open play today & unbeaten in the champions league in normal time. They gave it a hell of a go but it was a mountain to climb against state sponsored PSG. Proud of our boys.

    Tough game. We fought hard after an early goal changed our game plan massively. When it goes to penalties it's always a lottery. People might question why Gabriel was talking a penalty but he's one of the leaders on the pitch so of course he'd be first to step up. Proud of you team. One step closer. One step more than last year. Onwards we go. Trust the process.

    Absolutely gutted as I'm not sure we'll have many better chances to win one

    Looking forward to seeing the next evolution of this team. I'm sure Arteta knows that the only way to go to the next level is to improve our attacking output. Can't complain with tonight, it has been a great season.

    Rubbish. Lads played out of their skin today. The best defence vs the best attack. We held our own for 120 mins and were denied ref decisions.

    So proud of the lads.

    Yep. If they are in this thread it's because this is where the action is.

    Hard loss today but let's face it, we are one of the hardest clubs to beat on the big stage today in the world.

    well that was a great run in the competition this season, delighted for the lads getting to the final only to lose to psg and didn’t concede a goal in open play today, our defence was brilliant against them for most of the game and they were neutralised for the best part

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    Who would people have preferred to take it than Gabriel? I knew he’d take one as he’s a leader!

    Do we want Rashford? I heard his name bandied about.

    All week all I've had is people tell me how PSG were going to school us....

    Give us an added attack next season and we are going to be brutal. This loss will fuel the desire.

    Its not done.

    Personally, no. Don't see him as a huge step up from where we are.

    We need more up front, the defence is rock solid. Would like a LW and a box to box midfielder maybe. Would also like to see more of Dowman
