Even though he fell short when it mattered most, the Arsenal defender has received nothing but love from the Gunners faithful
Arsenal supporters know how to forgive - if there's anything to forgive in Gabriel Magalhaes' case in the first place.
As we all know, the Brazilian missed the last and decisive penalty kick in the shoot-out in the Champions League final, sealing his team's defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
Naturally, Gabriel took it very hard, as he is one of the leaders of Mikel Arteta's squad and has always been willing to take responsibility. Last Saturday, he endured one of the most difficult moments of his career, but the Gunners' fans don't seem to blame him.
On the contrary, they made an effort to lift his spirits and show him some love. How? By buying his jerseys.
According to reports from England, Gabriel's Arsenal shirt sales have increased by an impressive 350% since his penalty miss in the UCL final!

In an emotional Instagram post following the final, the centre-back wrote:
"It’s painful, but I’m proud of this team and everything we achieved together this season."
"Thank you to our incredible fans for your support every step of the way. You deserve to celebrate this journey with us and enjoy the parade today!"

Still, this fans' gesture must have made his disappointment a little easier to bear. Buoyed by such immense support, Gabriel will undoubtedly bounce back quickly and soon be back to his best.
