🚨🗣️ | Pep Guardiola Shocked on Arsenal fans Reaction towards Gabriel Magalhaes after missing the Penalty: 🤯
“I have to say something because I saw this and, honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. We know how this business works. Usually, in a Champions League final, a player misses a crucial penalty against a top, top team like PSG, and the next day... it is a disaster for him. The social media, the media, it can be very, very cruel. Very ugly. You expect the anger, the threats, the terrible words. We see it all the time.
But what the Arsenal fans did for Gabriel? Wow. It is something else. Truly. To see a player fail in the most painful moment, and the response from the stadium, from the people, is just... pure love? I am told his shirt sales went up by three hundred and fifty percent in a few days. Three hundred and fifty percent! This is incredible. I have been in football a long, long time, as a player and a manager, and I have never seen anything like it. Never.
You know, you open Facebook, you open Instagram or Twitter, and the narrative is always the same. 'Arsenal fans are insufferable. They are the worst fanbase, they are annoying.' You hear this tag all the time. But I look at this gesture and I think, 'How?' How do they have this tag? If a fanbase can wrap their arms around a player like that, in the darkest moment of the club's history a trophy they have been dying to win for decades then everything we are told online is a lie. It is a massive misconception. They have been judged so harshly.
This shows me who they really are. It shows their class, their humanity, and their loyalty. To behave like this? It is not annoying, it is not insufferable. It is beautiful. They deserve incredible praise for this, because this is what football should be about”
🚨 Rafa Leão: “I want a new challenge out of Serie A. I follow the Premier League with great attention. If I have the opportunity to play there or La Liga I would be really happy because my talent would be exulted there”.
“Let’s see what will happen this summer”, told SportTV.
🚨 EXCL: Arsenal have now agreed full personal terms with Jeremy Monga. Still work to be done on the mechanism of his exit as the English Champions want to close the deal.
As I understand it, Berta met with the English teen sensation’s entourage and laid out a pathway similar to that of Max Dowman at the club. A loan move for Monga cannot also be ruled out once the teenager is settled.
Monga has given full preference to Arsenal over multiple clubs including City & Leverkusen. Story W/ @scoutingindoors
🎙 Marquinhos explains what prompted him to head straight to Gabriel following the missed penalty..
🗣 “As soon as he missed, I remembered how it felt when I missed against Croatia” he said. “It is a very difficult moment, a big responsibility.”
“You need to be strong to come through moments like that. I have lived it myself, so I know how hard it is” he said.
“I just wanted to hug him and tell him I understand. I have been through it too” he explained.
“He has had an incredible season and shown he is one of the best defenders in the world. He did not deserve all that pressure in that moment” ❤️
Meet Benny White: elite partying lore of this man:
—Chucked Ødegaard’s £1,200 glasses right into the crowd without a second thought.
—Bullied Rice into performing "Rice, Rice Baby."
—Joyful sang "Hincapie, get your bumm out."
—Someone pelted a burger at the parade bus, and he genuinely just ate it.
You actually cannot convince me there is a bigger legend in the game of partying than him. Ultimate GOAT behavior. 🐐🥳
You’ll see random pictures of Arshavin supporting Arsenal every year since he left. Dude never gave any interviews, just kept supporting the club like a proper fan. Top guy.
📲 Cristhian Mosquera on Instagram: “I’ve spent my whole life dreaming of moments like this, but it didn’t turn out the way I wanted. This is a setback that, despite all the pain, will only make me stronger. Even so, my first season at this club has been unforgettable…” 🥹❤️
You can buy referees, you can fix matches, you can hide agent fees, you can breach all FFP rules but you can't buy either loyalty or respect because they are not given. THEY ARE EARNED
🚨 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.

PSG faced probably the best Mid block/Deep Block they’ve ever had to experience and looked absolutely clueless even as the ‘best attack ITW’
But on a good day, that’s a Sunderland or Brentford setup on a sunny afternoon in the PL
That’s what Arsenal faces 80% of the time
Les parisiens soyons honnête et objectif maintenant qu’on a gagné, Gabriel est clairement le meilleur défenseur au monde mais ce mec m’a traumatisé pendant 120min, c’est un mur en acier
