Shirt sales for Arsenal defender Gabriel increased by 350 per cent after the centre-back missed a crucial penalty in his side’s Champions League final defeat on Saturday.
Gabriel, 28, took the final penalty in the shootout, but his effort went over the bar, and Paris Saint-Germain were crowned Champions League winners for the second consecutive season.
However, despite the disappointment for the Brazilian, fans have responded by buying his shirt en masse. The 28-year-old became the top-selling name printed on shirts over the weekend.
At one point, sales of the Brazil international’s shirt doubled those of any other shirt being sold.

Mikel banned every news broadcast station on every TV at Sobha. A clear message this season to every staff member and the squad …
“ BLOCK OUT THE NOISE”
All that matters is US.
All that matters is Arsenal Football Club.
Cant wait to hear from him ….
I waited 19 years of my life for this moment.
Ninteen. NINETEEN.
I am an adult man, crying in my room right now.
My football club, my one true love - Arsenal Football Club are the Champions of England after 22 years.
