Arsenal’s 2-0 win over PSG in Tuesday’s Champions League match was overshadowed by a peculiar incident involving Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori. Fans were convinced that Rice handed Calafiori a vape during the second half after the latter was booked.
Calafiori was seen putting an object in his mouth after receiving it from Rice, leading to wild speculation on social media. Some fans rewound their streams, convinced they saw a vape being passed, while others made humorous comments about Rice potentially being a “vape holder.” However, eagle-eyed viewers clarified that the object in question was an energy gel, designed to give players a quick energy boost.
There are no rules against taking energy gels during a match, making it a non-issue. Despite the confusion, Arsenal’s goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka in the first half secured a comfortable 2-0 win, placing them eighth in the Champions League standings after two games.
