Gabriel is Arsenal's baseball bat-wielding fighter who team-mates joke should be a UFC star when he retires - now he's ready for another titanic battle with Erling Haaland
We play football, I go to you, it's just in my mind. I think beautiful football is not only a beautiful pass, but also when you defend, the way you defend. But he (Haaland) is a top player and, of course, I think he likes to play against me as well. Now he's ready for another battle with Erling Haaland, this time in the Carabao Cup finalYet beneath the humour sits something more deeper. Yet, when Haaland comes calling at Wembley, Gabriel will be ready to defend his house once more — whatever it takes.
