Viktor Gyökeres Responds to Gabriel Magalhães Copying His Celebration in Arsenal’s Big Win
Gyökeres Reacts After Gabriel Mimics His Signature Celebration During Arsenal’s Dominant Victory Over Sporting.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhães became the center of attention during their impressive 5-1 win over Sporting CP in the Champions League. Not only did he score a crucial goal, but he also celebrated in a way that had everyone talking. Gabriel mimicked the signature celebration of Sporting’s star striker, Viktor Gyökeres, adding some playful drama to an already exciting night.
This match was a big one for Mikel Arteta, as Arsenal finally ended their poor away form in the Champions League. Sporting, a team that had not lost at home in 18 months, was no match for the Gunners. Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring, followed by Kai Havertz. Then, just before halftime, Gabriel scored to make it 3-0. In the second half, Bukayo Saka scored a penalty, and Leandro Trossard added a fifth goal to seal the win.
Gabriel’s goal showed why he’s so good at attacking corners. The Brazilian defender has a habit of scoring important goals, with recent strikes against Tottenham and Manchester City. His strength in the air makes him a constant threat during set-pieces, and Arsenal fans have come to expect him to deliver in key moments.
After scoring, Gabriel added some flair by copying Gyökeres’ celebration. It was a cheeky move that fans quickly noticed and shared on social media.
Gyökeres, however, didn’t seem bothered. When asked about it after the game, he responded with a laugh: “Gabriel’s celebration? He’s welcome to use it if he can’t come up with his own! I didn’t even know he did that, but it’s fun he likes my celebration.”
Even though Gyökeres took it lightly, it was clear that Arsenal’s defense made his night difficult. The Swedish striker, known for scoring lots of goals, struggled to break through. Gabriel and William Saliba kept him quiet for most of the game.
Gabriel wasn’t the only one having fun. Right behind him, Bukayo Saka also mimicked Gyökeres’ celebration. The playful moment highlighted how much the Arsenal players enjoyed their win.
