Football fans took in the Champions League final.
The Gunners' long wait for a first European title went on after PSG beat them on penalties in Budapest, a night that held supporters across Nigeria.
Kai Havertz gave Arsenal an early lead in the sixth minute, but Ousmane Dembele levelled with a penalty in the 65th minute, before the final went the distance before the shootout decided the title.

Nigerian fans turned the final into one of the night's biggest talking points, with local social media filling up with both PSG jubilation and Arsenal heartbreak, a reminder of just how closely Nigeria follows the European game.
