Shirt sales for Arsenal star Gabriel Magalhaes increased by 350 percent after his penalty miss against PSG | OneFootball

Shirt sales for Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes increased by 350 percent following his penalty miss in Saturday’s Champions League final, according to The Athletic.

Manager Mikel Arteta was looking to lead the Gunners to glory, but they suffered an agonising defeat in Budapest after Gabriel missed the last spot-kick against Paris Saint-Germain.

He blasted his effort over the bar, which led to a 4-3 defeat following a 1-1 draw at the end of 120 minutes.

Arsenal fans showed their class with their response following his crucial miss, buying his shirt en masse.

The Brazilian became the top-selling name printed on Gunners jerseys over the weekend, and the sales of Gabriel’s shirt doubled those of any others sold at one point.

Arsenal returned to London the following day for their trophy parade, and more than a million fans were in attendance on the streets to celebrate with them.

Gabriel and others quickly put the pain behind them and were in high spirits at the parade.

Saturday’s final was their first in the elite European competition since 2006, and Arteta will be confident of winning their first-ever continental silverware sooner or later.

They headed into the final unbeaten but were unable to get over the line. However, 2025-26 will be regarded as a successful season following their first Premier League title in 22 years.

They also reached the League Cup final and will be eager to win more trophies next time around.
