@TheN5News Gabriel away to Newcastle -
Felt like a big moment early in the season. I esecially enjoyed that the commentators said "Teams that want to win the title go on and win from here" after Merino scored.
๐จ Since his penalty miss in the #UCL final, Arsenal supporters have made Gabriel the top-selling shirt name at the club.
His printed name is up 350% since Saturdayโs final. At one stage he was outselling any other name x2.

Still travelling home from Budapest, but I'm so happy to see the pictures and videos of the parade.
Yes, yesterday was disappointing, but this team deserve our love and you are showing it.
We'll cheer together and we'll cry together. But know this, the day is soon that we'll watch us lift that trophy together.
Nobody I'd rather share these adventures with ๐ดโช๏ธ
I'm sorry but this has been the most incredible enjoyable season of football I have ever experienced, I've seen these players die on the pitch for this club 63 times this season, I feel nothing but gratitude and pride. Football's cruel, but it could be a lot lot worse man.
If this is my life now where my team and fans get bantered for losing Champions League finals after securing a league title by 7 points then so be it. Itโs a life worth living.
I am beyond excited for the next few seasons.
Still in Budapest, but I hope everyone at the parade today reminds the squad that we love them, they have achieved great things and in 12 weeks, we go again as THE CHAMPIONS ๐ดโช๏ธ
Let me tell you, I am happy with the overall outcome of this season, and if you think The Arsenal being CHAMPIONS and losing a Champions League final on penalties is something to laugh at, you're not someone I want to discuss football with because you lack honesty
๐จ Arteta โ Its very tough to accept. Im so proud of them. Internally we know what we have been through. The way they carry the badge, I love them. We need to recognise the season we had.
Go through the pain, learn from it. Show the ambition we want to and we will go again.
