Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins failed to celebrate with his teammates and manager Unai Emery after his club qualified for the 2024/25 Champions League.
Aston Villa secured Champions League qualification after Tottenham Hotspur failed to beat Manchester City in the Premier League.
During Aston Villa end-of-season award night, Watkins was seen looking moody without wearing a smile. As the award night was going on, Aston Villa players were keeping tab on the game between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
The club shared a picture of Unai Emery and Ollie’s teammates celebrating, but the striker appeared to be less delighted about the news of their Champions League qualification.
It was revealed that Watkins is a long-term supporter of Arsenal football club. Hence, he was unhappy that Tottenham Hotspur’s defeat to Manchester City was bad news to the Gunners.
Watkins had always talked about how he admired the No. 10 Arsenal jersey worn by Thierry Henry during the former French International playing days at the London club.
Arsenal’s pursuit of the first Premier League title since 2003/04 season is still on, with Manchester City facing another London team, West Ham, in the last match of the season.
West Ham will have to beat Manchester City, and Arsenal should be able to defeat Sean Dyche men before the Gunners can be confirmed Champions of England.
