During Arsenal's intense match against Manchester United in the FA Cup third round on Sunday, Kai Havertz missed a crucial penalty in the shootout, leading to the team's defeat. But the heartbreak didn't end there for the Havertz family, as Kai's wife Sophia received disturbing messages on social media during the game.
Despite a strong performance from Arsenal, United took the lead with a goal from Bruno Fernandes in the second half. But Arsenal's Gabriel quickly equalized, and the game was pushed into extra time after Diogo Dalot was sent off. Martin Odegaard's penalty miss and missed opportunities from Havertz and Declan Rice added to the tension, with the game ultimately ending in a 1-1 draw.
Unfortunately, in the shootout, Havertz's penalty was saved by United's Altay Bayindir, ultimately securing their place in the next round. In the aftermath of the game, Sophia shared the abusive messages she received on Instagram, including a death threat and a horrific statement about her unborn child. Disgusted by the messages, Sophia wrote on her social media, pleading for more respect and calling out the perpetrators for their hateful words.
It's important to note that Kai and Sophia have been married since July 2024, and this kind of hate is completely unwarranted. Despite the heartbreaking loss, Arsenal's coach, Mikel Arteta, reminded the team that they are loved and appreciated, and their hard work and dedication are appreciated by fans. He also acknowledged the emotional toll of the game and the impact it can have on players' confidence, but emphasized the team's incredible performance and their continuous effort to improve.
