Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has set social media abuzz with a bold and cheerful Instagram post ahead of the Gunners’ crucial UEFA Champions League second-leg tie against Paris Saint-Germain on May 7.

After missing the first leg through suspension, Partey’s return has lifted the spirits of Arsenal fans, and his latest post has only amplified the belief that Mikel Arteta’s side can turn the tie around.

Confident Partey to be key for Arsenal vs PSG

Partey posted a striking image of himself smiling confidently on Instagram, just hours before Arsenal flew out to Paris.

To many supporters, Partey’s smile suggests a quiet confidence that Arsenal can overturn the 1-0 deficit from the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, where Ousmane Dembélé’s lone goal separated the two teams.

The Ghanaian's cheerful demeanor comes as no surprise to those familiar with his mentality.

The former Atletico Madrid maestro is known for his composure and leadership in big games, and his Instagram post is being seen by many as a signal that he is ready to inspire Arsenal to a famous European comeback.

Arsenal boosted by Partey’s return from suspension

Arsenal sorely missed Partey’s presence in the first leg, where they struggled to control the midfield against PSG’s dynamic engine room.

With Declan Rice having to shoulder much of the defensive workload alone, the Gunners were often overrun and failed to create clear chances.

Partey’s return for the second leg is a massive boost for Arteta’s side as he brings steel and tactical intelligence to the midfield.

Fan reactions to Partey’s Instagram post

Within minutes of Partey’s post, Arsenal fans flooded the comments with words of encouragement, fire emojis, and hopeful predictions.

Many saw the post as more than just a routine pre-match update, it was interpreted as a declaration of intent.

Even neutral observers noted that Partey’s mood reflected a dressing room that remains united and undaunted by the challenge ahead.

Can Arsenal reach the 2025 UEFA Champions League final?

Arsenal know they face a formidable task in Paris, who are led by the likes of Ousmane Dembélé in attack and Vitinha in midfield.

The Gunners, however, have shown remarkable resilience this season, especially away from home, with Partey shining in their 2-1 away win at Real Madrid in the previous stage.

With ex-Tema Youth player back in the fold, there is genuine belief that Arsenal can produce a memorable performance under the Parc des Princes lights.
