UCL Final: Gabriel becomes highest selling Arsenal shirt after PSG defeat
Sales of shirts featuring the name of Arsenal defender Gabriel have surged by 350%, according to a report from The Athletic. This spike in interest comes despite the player’s missed penalty in the Champions League final on Saturday, which contributed to Arsenal’s defeat.
The 28-year-old centre-back stepped up to take the fifth and decisive kick during the shootout but unfortunately shot over the bar, allowing Paris Saint-Germain to retain the trophy they won the previous year.
In a surprising turn of events, Arsenal fans have responded to the setback by purchasing Gabriel’s shirt in large quantities. Since the weekend, he has become the club’s top-selling player for merchandise, with sales of his shirt at one point exceeding those of any other player.
