In a Facebook post, the Canada-based supporter claimed Arsenal were complacent after their back-to-back victories over Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
The viral post compared Arsenal’s match against PSG to the thrilling encounter between Barcelona and Inter Milan on Wednesday night in April.
Ajayi went on to say that Spanish winger Lamine Yamal is a better player than England’s Bukayo Saka. He said:
"This is what a Champions League semi-final should look like. Arsenal destroyed Real Madrid, and then we started behaving as if we have won the World Cup. We hardly learn."
"Saka is a Super talent but jokes apart, comparing my Saka left leg with Lamine Yamal or Raphinha's left leg, is like comparing Ekiti commentators with British commentators."
His Facebook post has sparked mixed reactions, with some Arsenal fans supporting his views, while others mocked him for expecting too much from the club.
Gbenga Aruleba responded:
"Now you know what’s lacking in your team……Winners Mentality.
"Rice was nothing near outstanding yesterday."

Jesse King Isaac posited:
"Lamal have used his left leg to win a European trophy for his country and two titles so far for Barcelona. What has Saka's left leg done this season?"
Obinna Berti Eze wrote:
"I complained this to someone even before we played the first leg against Real Madrid!
"I told him that we would knock out Real Madrid but Aston Villa or PSG will be very difficult for Arsenal.
"And I went ahead to tell him that my biggest fear would be the behaviour of Arsenal fans when we knock out Real Madrid, they would start acting as if we had won the trophy!"
Adelowo Peter Taiwo added:
"But mehn, Arsenal can't even beat any of this remaining team here ooo
"Cause omo 😅🤣."
