UMVA has learned that Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes has taken to social media to hit back at a viral Manchester City supporter who had been trolling his club.
The Brazilian defender posted a pointed message on Instagram, sharing two pictures of the Manchester City fan - one where they had mocked Arsenal with a 'bottler' joke, and another where they were watching on as City drew with the Gunners.
The post, which included a cryptic caption "think too much", seemed to speak for itself, with the images clearly implying that the fan's jibes had been premature.
It's clear that the Arsenal players were motivated by their reputation for under-achieving, and Gabriel's post was just one example of the team's response to their critics.
Others, including Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly, also celebrated their success with a video clip that poked fun at their doubters, with Lewis-Skelly joking about being called bottlers while holding a bottle of champagne.
With the weight of expectation now lifted, Arsenal will surely feel empowered to achieve even more, as winning that first trophy often paves the way for future success.
Meanwhile, a debate is raging about whether Manchester City "bottled" the league this season, after they failed to capitalize on their momentum and ultimately slipped up with a draw against Bournemouth.
The City performance was particularly underwhelming, with some suggesting that the team may have been distracted by rumors about Pep Guardiola's future at the club.
The draw marked a disappointing end to a tumultuous season for City, who had looked like favourites to win the title just a month ago.
In contrast, Arsenal's players will be feeling buoyant, having finally shed their "bottlers" tag and proved their doubters wrong.
