Tottenham: Luca Williams-Barnett takes less than subtle swipes at Arsenal after PSG defeat
Tottenham Hotspur starlet Luca Williams-Barnett has taken to social media in the aftermath of the Champions League final.
The Lilywhites spent the final weeks of the 2024/25 season celebrating their Europa League win after a win over Manchester United in Bilbao.
A historic third European title brought a turbulent campaign to an end and gave further ammunition over the Gunners, who are yet to ever lift silverware in continental competition.
That could have changed on Saturday, just one year later, but Mikel Arteta’s side ultimately fell to penalty shootout defeat against PSG in Budapest.
There have been widespread celebrations throughout English football after the Parisians secured victory, with Tottenham’s Williams-Barnett getting involved.

Luca Williams-Barnett sports PSG shirt in Arsenal swipe
The 17-year-old is seen as arguably the brightest talent coming through the academy down Hotspur Way right now.
He has already made his senior debut after several impressive years as part of various age categories in North London.
| Team | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Tottenham | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| U21 | 11 | 7 | 6 |
| U19 | 6 | 7 | 2 |
| U18 | 33 | 27 | 10 |
That has all enhanced the buzz surrounding the attacker, with high hopes building as he edges closer to becoming a potential first-team star.
He is only growing closer to supporters in N17 with his actions away from the pitch as he looks to connect with fans.
The England under-17 international has taken another step forward with that after sharing an image of Ousmane Dembele on his Instagram story after Arsenal’s defeat to PSG.
He followed that up with a TikTok post of himself wearing the French side’s shirt, featuring the Ballon d’Or winner on his back.
Williams-Barnett is set for a bright future at Tottenham, and with his recent antics, he is only likely to become a fan favourite even more quickly.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful certainly would have been keen to see the Ligue 1 champions lift the Champions League in Budapest.
They got that wish as Gabriel blazed his spot kick over the bar, after Eberechi Eze had missed previously, to hand Luis Enrique a second European Cup in as many seasons.
Spurs fans were certainly happy to know they are still the only European trophy winners in North London, and it prompted that hilarious reaction from Williams-Barnett.
Supporters on TikTok have described him as a “club legend” already, while laughing emojis piled in for the 17-year-old.
It seems clear that the youngster is already a Tottenham favourite, so his career could soon take a step up in N17 with the backing of everyone in the stands and beyond.
