Micah Richards reacts to Serge Gnabry’s ‘nonsense’ during Arsenal vs Bayern Munich

Serge Gnabry spent five years at Arsenal between 2011 and 2016.

The German joined the Gunners’ youth setup from Stuttgart and was always viewed as a fantastic young talent in the academy.

He came through the ranks and went on to make 18 appearances under Arsene Wenger.

In the summer of 2016, Gnabry decided to leave Arsenal on a permanent deal. He moved back to Germany and joined Werder Bremen before sealing a transfer to Bayern Munich a year later.

Gnabry returned to the Emirates for the first time this week after leaving the club nearly eight years ago. He scored Bayern’s opening goal as well and surprised everyone by celebrating in front of the home fans.

On the , Micah Richards called Gnabry out for his celebration and claimed he did not like it. Alan Shearer, however, backed the German and branded his podcast co-host’s comments as rubbish.

Here’s how their conversation went…

Richards said: “Gnabry coming back to his old stomping ground as well, celebrating in front of the fans. I don’t like that, Gnabry. Settle down!”

Shearer replied: “Really? Come on! Not celebrating in front of your fans of your former club or whatever, what a load of rubbish!”

Richards then claimed: “He can celebrate but he’s doing all that sauce nonsense – you can’t do that at the Emirates. We’re coming back for you Gnabry, we’re coming back for you.”

Bayern Munich suffer big blow before second leg vs Arsenal

Arsenal travel to the Allianz Arena to take on Bayern Munich in a game that will decide who moves to the semi-final of the Champions League.

The tie is evenly poised at 2-2, and it can go either way.

Micah Richards thinks Arsenal have a better chance of going through, while Jurgen Klinsmann has backed Bayern Munich to get the job done.

However, the Germans have suffered a big blow ahead of the game – Serge Gnabry is injured and ruled out of the second leg.

Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has revealed that the former Arsenal man is expected to miss between two and three weeks after suffering a suspected tear in the muscle fibre of his left thigh.

Kingsley Coman will likely start in place of Gnabry next week.
