Celebrate when you win.”Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright responded on X,, external saying: „Arsenal fans, let me tell you something: enjoy this. The celebration police will be out in force. Do not get nicked!”Enjoy yourselves, football’s about moments and this is a big moment. Enjoy it and let’s hope that in the final and after the final we have another massive moment. It’s a great day.”Ex-Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger led the Gunners to their previous Champions League final in 2006, when they lost 2-1 to Barcelona.Speaking on beIN Sports, Wenger said: „They celebrated well tonight, which is normal. But you want more to focus already on the final and the next game.”The celebration is deserved and happiness is absolutely normal, but now the next step is of course to go to the final and win it.”Rooney was also critical of Manchester City’s celebrations this season, after they beat Arsenal last month to get back in the Premier League title race.”I think it was a little bit over the top,” he said after City’s 2-1 home win.”It is obviously a big win. I just think it’s a little bit premature and it might come back to bite them.”Fellow BBC pundit Danny Murphy agreed City’s celebrations „looked a bit excessive, like maybe they had already won [the title]”.But the ex-Liverpool and England midfielder added: „I think it was more a celebration of realising that they are in this and it is in their own hands.”‘Not stage-managed, just joy’ – fan’s viewScarlet Katz Roberts from the Goal Difference podcastA
