DECLAN RICE kept Arsenal fans guessing during Tuesday's Champions League clash with PSG.
Supporters were convinced the Gunners midfielder handed teammate Riccardo Calafiori a VAPE during the contest at the Emirates.
Fans spotted Declan Rice giving teammate Riccardo Calafiori an object during Arsenal's win over PSG
The Arsenal defender took the item moments after being booked
Rice and Calafiori put in strong performances as Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners in the Champions League tie.
Goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka in the first half gave the Gunners a comfortable victory.
But it was an incident during the second half in North London which had social media abuzz.
Calafiori was in the process of being booked after a coming together with PSG's Fabian Ruiz.
As referee Slavko Vincic produced the yellow card, Rice appeared and gave an item to his teammate.
Calafiori walked away from the referee, immediately putting the object into his mouth.
One fan wildly speculated on X: "Who just saw Declan Rice giving Calafiori a vape and Calafiori vaping in the middle of the game? WTH is that!"
Another claimed the same idea: "I thought Rice gave Calafiori a vape at first I had to rewind."
And a third added: "What did Rice just pass to Calafiori? It looked like a vape ffs."
While a fourth laughed: "Calafiori hitting a vape midgame is crazy, but whats crazier is how come Rice had it in his pocket like is he their vape holder?"
Despite what it looked like, other eagle-eyed fans noticed the supposed vape was infact an energy gel.
One fan laughed: "It's clearly a gel, come on guys."
And another added: "Who just chucked an energy gel at Calafiori while he was getting booked?
The gels are designed to give an instant boost energy boost and there are no rules against taking them during a game.
Arsenal sit eighth in the new-look Champions League table after Tuesday's win.
It follows a disappointing 0-0 stalemate with Atalanta in Gameweek 1.
Havertz nodded home a brilliant cross from Leandro Trossard on 20 minutes to open the scoring.
Saka deservedly doubled that lead 15 minutes later, swinging over a free-kick that evaded everyone, including keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
