Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães has experienced an extraordinary 350% increase in shirt sales following his missed penalty in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite the heartbreak of Arsenal’s shootout defeat, supporters rallied behind the Brazilian, turning his name into the most requested on replica shirts over the weekend.

According to The Athletic, at one point Gabriel’s shirt sales reportedly doubled those of any other squad member, a clear sign of solidarity from the fanbase.

This surge in demand highlights the unique bond between Arsenal’s players and their supporters, who have chosen to transform a moment of disappointment into a show of loyalty.

Gabriel’s name now stands as a symbol of the club’s unity in the face of adversity.
