Arsenal supporters were concerned about their chances as Calum Chambers and Sokratis lined up against Spain’s attacking kings.

But it was only when Mustafi, who cost £35million in 2016, came on that Arsenal became really vulnerable.

And their fans on social media were quick to point that out.

The mistake was capitalised on by former Liverpool front man Suarez as he acrobatically guided the ball past Bernd Leno.

It allowed Barcelona to win the game, and lift the Joan Gamper trophy, despite Arsenal taking the lead.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had scored a sensational goal in the first-half when he turned Jordi Alba and drilled an effort into the top of the net.

But then a howler from Ainsley Maitland-Niles — who had been a standout performer up until then — allowed Barca back in the game.

Maitland-Niles prodded the ball back towards Leno but hadn’t seen his keeper was coming out, which saw the ball trickle into his own net.

The youngster’s mistake was quickly forgotten when Mustafi came on and made his fateful error with only seconds remaining.

Arsenal fans are laughing, for now — but the real stuff gets going next week at St. James’ Park.
