Gabriel Jesus Encourages Arsenal Teammates to Pursue Champions League Victory
Following a hard-earned triumph over Sevilla, Gabriel Jesus has inspired his Arsenal teammates to have faith in their ability to win the Champions League. The 26-year-old provided an assist for Gabriel Martinelli’s opening goal just before halftime and then scored a remarkable strike in the 53rd minute, leading Arsenal to a 2-1 victory at Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan on Tuesday.

A loss would have put Mikel Arteta’s side in a precarious position, but instead, they now sit at the top of Group B. Their next two matches against Sevilla and Lens will take place at home next month.
During his five-year stint at Manchester City, Jesus reached the 2021 Champions League final. Now, with 23 goals from 41 appearances in the competition, the Brazilian striker insists that Arsenal, who have never won Europe’s most prestigious club football prize, should aim for glory at Wembley next June.
“The Champions League is a competition I adore, just like the Premier League,” he passionately stated. “I love all competitions because I simply love playing football. Since my debut in the Champions League, I’ve been scoring goals.
“I haven’t won it yet, so I am determined to seize this opportunity and lift the beautiful trophy. Undoubtedly, it won’t be easy, but we must believe. Without belief, we cannot reach this stage.”
Jesus left the field in the 81st minute due to a hamstring issue that concerned Arteta. However, Jesus downplayed the severity of the injury, saying, “Let’s wait and see. I underwent tests with the physio, and it doesn’t appear to be a major problem. I’ll have a scan, but I’m confident it’s nothing serious.”
