Recall that Arsenal supporters went into raptures following their quarter-final victory over Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The North London club defeated Los Blancos home and away, registering a 3-0 first leg win at the Emirates Stadium, before a 2-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Arsenal fans took to the streets to celebrate the victory over the 'mighty' Madrid, with some believing they will win the elusive title this year.

The Gunners have never won the UEFA Champions League or the European Cup. Their best performance was in the 2005/06 season, when they reached the final but lost 2-1 to Barcelona.

They last won the Premier League in the 2003-04 season, finishing the campaign unbeaten under manager Arsene Wenger.

Now they risk crashing out of the Champions League, and a pastor said the fans only make a loud noise.

He said, as per the viral footage:

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta expressed disappointment following his side's home loss to PSG.

An early goal conceded in the first half, followed by Mikel Merino's early strike at the start of the second, defined the night's narrative.

Responding to a question about whether Arsenal still have the chance of progressing, the manager said via Football London:

"I don't know the percentage, but we have a lot of chances to be in that final.
"As I repeat myself, you have to do something special in the competition to have the right to be in the final.
"And the time to do it is going to be in Paris."
