Arsenal football player Kai Havertz's wife, Sophia, revealed a series of horrific messages on Instagram directed at her and their unborn baby following Arsenal's FA Cup defeat to Manchester United. Havertz missed a penalty during the shootout as a result of which United went on to win the match 5-3.

Posting the DMs on her story, Sophia said: "I'm not sure what to even say but please be more respectful. We are better than this... For anyone to think it's okay to write something like this is so shocking to me... I hope you are so ashamed of yourself."

Sophia, who has been dating Havertz since 2018 announced in November 2024 that the couple are expecting their first baby together. According to The Standard report, Arsenal are now “consulting with a third-party investigator that specialises identifying online abusers”, with the intention being to recognise those responsible for the abuse – which has been reported to Instagram – and “seek the strongest action possible against the culprits”.

Mikel Arteta on Havertz missing penalty against Manchester United in FA Cup

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has backed Havertz despite his penalty miss during FA Cup match against Manchester United. Speaking about the same he said, ‘To him and to all of them, that I love them, that we all love them individually and as a team they are a joy."

"What this team produces every three days is incredible regardless of what happens. And I’m not going to lose sight of that because of our results or for two because we didn’t deserve those results."

"What can we do better, let’s try to do it. It’s very difficult to achieve. It’s an emotional part. It’s something related to confidence as well. But it’s very difficult to ask something else from our players."
