Ryanair has found itself at the centre of a social media controversy after making a tongue-in-cheek comment on X, formerly Twitter. The airline is known for its humorous posts and the Ryanair team saw Arsenal being knocked out of the Champions League as a new opportunity to make a joke.
Prior to the match, the official Arsenal account posted a simple yet hopeful message: “Make It Happen”. But after the Gunners lost out to Paris St Germain, Ryanair’s social media team shared this post, simply adding: “or not”. 
Users on X were divided, with many taking offense to the update. One wrote: “Too far, not funny” and another said: “This one wasn’t even funny. Or relevant to Ryanair? It was just trolling..”
However, some other users clearly found it amusing, with one suggesting the social media manager must be a Tottenham fan. Another complimented the Ryanair marketing team, saying they deserved a raise.

That said, a number of people said they would never fly with Ryanair again.  The backlash comes after Arsenal’s Champions League aspirations came to an end with a 2-1 defeat at the Parc des Princes, concluding their hopes for a first-time win in the competition.
The Gunners had initially trailed by a goal, and despite demonstrating exceptional skill with two near-misses within the first 15 minutes, their chances slipped further away when Fabian Ruiz scored after 27 minutes.
