Here's what made Akash Ambani fall in love with football
Gunner fans must be either gutted over Arsenal's 4-0 humiliating defeat on Sunday at the hands of Liverpool or praying for a miracle. The baying for blood has increased, with cries for manager Arsene Wenger's resignation.

One such heartbroken fan could be Akash Ambani. The 25-year-old scion told a magazine this month how he fell in love with the team in 2005 while watching Patrick Vieira score the penalty shootout at the FA Cup final in Cardiff. And there are the perks that come from being a high-profile fan.

Ambani Jr got the chance to kick around the ball at his private football area in Mumbai with Arsenal's former forward Thierry Henry in 2016.

Akash was understandably thrilled; Henry has even invited him to watch a game from his private box at the Emirates Stadium. Maybe best for fans to bask in Arsenal's past glory for the moment.
