Arsenal`s Myles Lewis-Skelly playfully trolled Real Madrid`s Antonio Rudiger after the defender`s controversial stamp during their match.
Lewis-Skelly delivered an impressive performance as Arsenal secured a dramatic 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu.
The Arsenal player showcased his playful side after the game with a clever post on Instagram.
Sharing photos captioned “Up!”, Lewis-Skelly presented images of himself outperforming Real Madrid`s players.
One photo captured Lewis-Skelly tackling Vinicius Jr, while another showed him evading Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde.
However, the subsequent image highlighted the moment when Rudiger avoided a red card despite appearing to stamp on Lewis-Skelly.
Arsenal`s academy graduate was left on the ground following a challenge.
Rudiger then ran over Lewis-Skelly and seemed to leave his leg trailing into the player`s torso.
This caused the young player to express pain, yet Rudiger faced no consequences for his actions.
Nevertheless, Lewis-Skelly had the last laugh, as his final picture showed him relaxing on the tunnel steps after the match concluded.
He was smiling and using his phone with earphones, possibly video chatting with family or friends.
Fans quickly responded to the pictures.
Reactions included comments like: “You are built different,” and “Posting the Rudiger thing is hilarious.”
Another comment pointed out: “Rudiger should have seen red,” while another fan added: “How can you not love the kid.”
Arsenal entered the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final with a 3-0 advantage from the first leg.
Despite missing a penalty in the first half, Bukayo Saka eventually put Arsenal ahead in the 65th minute.
A defensive error by William Saliba allowed Vinicius Jr to equalize shortly after.
However, Gabriel Martinelli secured the victory for Arsenal with a goal in added time.
Arsenal will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.
This means Lewis-Skelly is set to compete against prominent players such as Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
