Arsenal fans have been accused of showing a lack of respect to the Pope after appearing to interrupt the minute's silence before their Champions League semi-final clash with PSG.
Pope Francis passed away last week at the age of 88 after 12 years in the Vatican, and UEFA subsequently confirmed that a minute's silence will be held ahead of every European match this week.
Arsenal's players seemed to forget about the tribute as they were still in their team huddle as PSG gathered around the centre circle prior to kick-off.
The referee then blew his whistle to signal the start of the silence, but whistles and some chants could be heard around the Emirates.
This was spotted by some social media users, who hit out at the behaviour of the home fans.
'Arsenal fans with the disrespect can’t even be quiet to pay respects for the late Pope,' one fan posted on X.
'Awfully observed silence for the Pope by Arsenal there,' another X user added.
One supporter even suggested the Emirates crowd had shown a lack of maturity and behaved like children.
'Lots of wolf whistling during the moments silence for the late Pope. Nice of Arsenal to let the U12s in,' they wrote.
Once the minute's silence was completed, Arsenal made a nervy start to their first Champions League semi-final since 2009.
With former manager Arsene Wenger watching on from the stands, the Gunners fell behind inside four minutes as Ousmane Dembele fired home from the edge of the area.

How can you claim you respect God while you have respect for fellow humans? That's a fallacy
Fallacy....lol see this one too....biggot calling someone names. If you know who you are and what you can do you'll talk to God straight and move away from The disaster called Religion....eventually pope worships the black Madonna

That Satan incarnate is dead and FA wants a min of silence for him but Gakpo shows I belong to Jesus after scoring and he's set to be warned by the "DEVILISH FA"....indeed " they" are controlling the worlds biggest organizations -schools, health centres, army, technology......
