Arsenal held a 3-0 lead going into the second leg of their quarter-final, but were wary of the prospect of a Real Madrid comeback at the iconic Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

But the Premier League side ended up winning the second leg as well, taking a second-half lead through Bukayo Saka and seeing Gabriel Martinelli's late goal cancel out an equaliser on the night from Vinicius Junior.

And Tierney was spotted revelling in the moment that the London outfit's victory was confirmed.

The Scot was videoed leaping around near the touchline and embracing the coaching staff as Martinelli wheeled away in the background.

That's despite the 27-year-old only coming off the bench in the 90th minute and not getting a touch of the ball.

The boyhood Celts fan is returning to Parkhead on a free transfer when his contract at the Emirates expires in the summer.

But that hasn't stopped Arsenal fans from taking to X, formerly Twitter, to show their appreciation for his celebrations.

One fan said: "Kieran Tierney so happy at the bottom of the screen is making me tear up!!!

"Proper player, he deserves this!!"

Another posted: "Watch the way Kieran Tierney celebrates right at the end of the video… I love this guy."

"So loyal, hardworking, and kind hearted."

Another supporter replied: "He will forever be loved by the Arsenal fans."
