Over the past two seasons, Gabriel Magalhaes has been a standout player for Arsenal. In a recent interview with Brazilian YouTube channel Cartolouco, the Brazilian defender opened up about his time at the club and revealed some interesting insights.
One of the most memorable moments for Gabriel during the 2023-24 season was when he successfully executed an offside trap against Manchester United. He described it as a stroke of "genius" and it remains his favorite personal moment of the season.
But that's not the only revelation Gabriel made in the interview. He also shared a big secret - he had actually been sold to Everton before joining Arsenal in 2020. This news came as a surprise to many, but it just goes to show the unpredictable nature of the football world.
Despite narrowly missing out on the Premier League title for the second year in a row, Gabriel remains positive and focused on the good moments. He and his team only managed to add the Community Shield to their trophy cabinet, but Gabriel believes that their offside trap against United was a sign of their potential.
The match against United was a controversial one, with United boss Erik ten Hag complaining about certain decisions even months later. He felt that his team should have been awarded a penalty and that their late goal was unjustly disallowed due to a VAR offside call.
But as Ten Hag said, "such moments can help you" and he believes that every team needs its moment in a season. Unfortunately, United never had theirs, but Gabriel's offside trap against them could have been their turning point.
Ten Hag also reflected on their 3-2 win over Newcastle in May, saying that it was a confidence booster for the team, especially the young players. He believes that this win will give them the much-needed boost they need to make a step forward and achieve success in the future.
In the end, Gabriel remains a key player for Arsenal and his performances have not gone unnoticed. He has won the hearts of the fans, who have a special song for him, and has even named Erling Haaland as one of his toughest opponents. With his talent and determination, it's clear that Gabriel has a bright future ahead of him at Arsenal.
