A penalty shoot-out was needed to separate the two teams at the Puskas Arena as Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal played out a 1-1 draw on Saturday night.
Gabriel needed to score to take the shoot-out to sudden death, but the Brazilian blazed his shot over the bar in what was a heartbreaking moment for the Gunners.
The defender was mocked after the event as fans took to social media to rip into his poor shot in what was Arsenal’s chance to secure their first European trophy.
Terry knows how it feels
Now, Terry, who missed the chance to win the tournament for Chelsea at the expense of Manchester United when he infamously slipped in the Moscow rain, has sent a message to Gabriel.
"Wow, a horrible way to lose," said Terry, who famously missed the chance to win the tournament for Chelsea when he infamously slipped in the Moscow rain.
"I got it completely wrong in my predictions. I thought PSG were poor and Arsenal got off to a great start with the goal from Havertz. But fair play to Arsenal I think they’ve been superb in the Premier League and Champions League.
"But they just miss out and it’s a horrible way to lose. I’m feeling for Gabriel, I’ve been there. Trust me, it’s not a good place for the next few days, you’ll feel even worse.
"But things move on and you go again next season. I wish him well and it’s a tough way to lose and miss that last penalty, like I say I’ve been there, I’ve done it myself and it’s a horrible feeling."
Gabriel sent a message to supporters after the game as he looked towards the next campaign as Arsenal aim to bounce back next season as they hope to build on their first Champions League final in 20 years.
“It’s painful but I’m proud of this team and everything we achieved together this season,’ said the Brazil international on Instagram.
“Thank you to our incredible fans for your support every step of the way. You deserve to celebrate this journey with us and enjoy the parade today.
“See you next season. Love, Big Gabi.”
