Referee Stuart Atwell gave Gabriel a second yellow card for pushing back City winger Gabriel Jesus as he turned away from the defender. Gabriel’s Arsenal teammates rushed Atwell in a show of displeasure.

The Arsenal player had only received his first yellow card two minutes prior, when he was penalized for dissent prior to City’s Riyad Mahrez completing a penalty kick.

Arsenal got off to a good start, with Bukayo Saka scoring a well-taken goal in the 31st minute.

However, City rallied in the second half, with Mahrez’s penalty tying the game before Gabriel’s dismissal gave them the lead.

Pep Guardiola’s side then dominated the final half-hour of play, with Rodri scoring the winner in the 93rd minute.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
