🚨 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 Saturday’s final. At one stage he was outselling any other name x2.

🚨 Thierry Henry Explains Why Arsenal Are One of the Most Hated Clubs in Football
🗣️: “People always ask why everyone is so obsessed with Arsenal. The answer is simple: relevance. When Arsenal are struggling, the world talks about them. When Arsenal are winning, the world talks about them. Very few clubs in football command that level of gravity.
Arsenal have one of the biggest fanbases in the world, and with a fanbase that large, every opinion becomes louder. Every victory feels bigger, every defeat becomes a global discussion, and every title race turns into a war between supporters online.
In recent years, Arsenal have returned to competing for the biggest trophies, and that naturally creates enemies. Nobody hates teams that are irrelevant. Rival fans say they dislike Arsenal supporters because they are confident, loud, and everywhere. But if we're being honest, every successful club has supporters like that.
After losing to PSG in the Champions League final, you can already see thousands of fans who don't even support the opposing team celebrating Arsenal's downfall. That’s not just rivalry; that’s fear and obsession.
The reality is that Arsenal are one of the few clubs in world football that people either love or love to see lose. That's usually what happens when a club becomes big enough to live in everyone's mind, even when they're not playing.”
Today, he will tell you winning the Premier League and not letting a single side in world football beat you in open play IS NOT ENOUGH AND THAT WE WANT MUCH MORE.
Read that again.
Till the wheels fall off Mikel.
Absolutely immense season. Champions of England. Didnt lose a single UCL game in full time. Rivals waited until the last kick of the season.
Never been a better time to support Arsenal. He is staying. He is hungry. He will fix the roof while the sun is shining.
Arsenal FC ❤️
🚨Rice “Mikel is gutted but he spoke about how much he loves us. I think we have come so far as a club. When I came to this club it was a QF exit then a Semi Final exit and now a final exit. One more step and we go again.
One thing about us, this wont define us.
We will be back”
