In a moment shared on social media with Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Magalhaes made it abundantly evident how much he loves Arsenal. The Brazil international has been playing some of his best football of the year. He has scored two important goals and helped his team maintain five clean sheets thus far.

Gabriel has benefited from the Gunners’ transition into set-piece specialists, scoring headed goals against Manchester City and Tottenham. The man who is credited with leading Arsenal to dominance in set pieces, Nicolas Jover, had his efforts rewarded earlier this week when his team defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League by scoring from a straight free kick.

Due to his set-piece delivery, Bukayo Saka has racked up multiple assists this season; yet, on this occasion, his ball into the box eluded everyone, including Gianluigi Donnarumma in the PSG goal. Despite not being involved directly, there is a notion that Gabriel communicated to his colleagues in secret that the cross was approaching low.

The 26-year-old has grown to be a fan favourite because of his consistent impact on games, and his most recent performance will probably win over more Arsenal followers. Many of the players were seen exiting the main London Colney building and onto the field in one of Arsenal’s most recent indoor training films.

Gabriel sauntered out, Timber to his left, flanked by William Saliba, his centre-back partner. The Arsenal badge was printed on the ground, and Gabriel extended his arm to prevent Timber from walking over it just as the Netherlands star appeared ready to stand with his teammates.

Even while it might not seem like much to some, Gabriel clearly felt that standing on the club’s crest would be insulting. Gabriel to Timber needed to repeat this action, but it might not happen anytime soon because the full-back might sustain another injury against PSG.
