Former Barcelona star Eric Abidal has denied today’s rumors about her sudden death, saying the rumors should never have been raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wave of false news spread on social media today claiming that Abidal, 46, had died suddenly of a terminal illness. The news quickly drew widespread backlash from fans and the media.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abidal posted a message on his Instagram page: “Some rumors should never exist. I am here with my family and everything is fine. To be very clear, I am fine, alive and in perfect health. Thank you all for your support and messages of concern. Let’s focus on what really matters.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a match of little consequence to either side, Kieran Tierney opened the scoring in the 43rd minute. Southampton equalized through Ross Stewart in the 56th minute. But in the 89th minute, Martin \u00d8degaard scored the winning goal for Arsenal with a long-range strike. This victory marked Arsenal\u2019s 14th consecutive win in the final week of the Premier League season, a new record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
