Rice Gave Calafiori a Vape During the Match? Fans Were Surprised but It Turned Out to Be a Misunderstanding

In the early hours of October 2, during the Champions League match between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, the Gunners secured an easy victory with a score of 2-0. However, a small incident during the game sparked the imagination of many fans, leading to some wild speculations.

The situation was as follows: Calafiori had a physical confrontation with Ruiz during a challenge, which resulted in referee Slavko Vinčić showing him a yellow card. Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Declan Rice suddenly appeared from the side, holding an unidentified object. He deftly handed it to Calafiori, who promptly put it in his mouth! This scene left many spectators puzzled, with some even starting to make up their own stories.

A netizen posted on social media: “Did anyone see that Rice just gave Calafiori a vape? That’s outrageous!” Another fan chimed in: “I noticed it too! I need to go back and check the footage to confirm if it was really a vape.”

Some fans let their creativity run wild, suggesting that Rice might be the team’s “vape manager,” while Calafiori is the “hidden player” who enjoys vaping even during matches. One commenter joked: “This is crazy; did Rice carry a spare vape around?”

However, attentive fans quickly uncovered the truth—what was believed to be a “vape” was actually nothing more than a common energy gel. A fan commented: “Come on, that’s clearly an energy gel; stop guessing.”

Energy gels are a quick source of energy for athletes and are very common. They provide a large amount of energy in a short time, helping players maintain good performance. Moreover, there are no rules prohibiting the use of such products during matches. Therefore, The Sun also reported on this amusing incident, stating that although the “vape mix-up” attracted much attention, it was simply a small misunderstanding that brought a smile to people’s faces.
