But in the midst of the build-up to the match, fans were stunned and had to look twice at a rather familiar-looking man dressed as Hagrid.

The Gunners star was barely recognizable at Boxpark Wembley with the Harry Potter character’s beard, long hair and signature brown outfit.

We’re a long way from her blonde locks, that’s for sure!

The 26-year-old, who was born in Stoke but grew up as a West Bromwich Albion supporter.

But even if it’s not the Baggies, it looks like he’s well-placed to be at the heart of football’s richest game under the arch.

Ramsdale has previously revealed how much he enjoys engaging with fans when playing football.

He’s no stranger to teasing opposition fans behind his goal – including Leeds supporters!

Ramsdale had a difficult season last term as Arsenal finished second in the Premier League.

The Gunners goalkeeper has fallen down Mikel Arteta’s pecking order to be a no. 2 behind Brentford loanee David Raya, making 11 appearances.

For now, though, Ramsdale will enjoy his time at the Home of Football watching one of the best games football has to offer.
