Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has been subjected to horrific death threats following his penalty miss in the FA Cup third-round defeat against Manchester United. Despite United being down to ten men for most of the match, Arsenal failed to capitalize, with Havertz missing crucial chances, including a decisive penalty in the shootout. Arsenal lost 5-4, leading to their elimination from the tournament.
The backlash escalated beyond criticism, turning into vile threats targeting Havertz and his family. His wife, Sophia Havertz, shared disturbing messages on her Instagram story, including a chilling threat that read, “I will come to your house and slaughter your child. I’m not joking, wait for it.”
Sophia responded with disbelief, stating, “If someone thinks writing such things is normal, it is a massive shock for me. I hope you feel ashamed of yourself. Please learn to respect people more. We are better than this.”
Arsenal has condemned the threats and launched an official investigation to identify and take action against those responsible. The club remains committed to protecting its players and their families from such harmful behavior, emphasizing the need for respect and accountability within the fanbase.
