Gabriel Jesus on Arsenal's return to the Champions League
For most of the squad, walking out of the tunnel to Tony Britten’s famous score tomorrow night will be unfamiliar, but not so for Jesus, who scored 22 goals in 38 games over five years in the competition while playing for his previous club“When I scored my first goal, I become emotional because 99 per cent of the kids I grew up with dreamed of playing Champions League and becoming a top player,” he says.
Reflecting on hearing that famous song, he said it transports him back to Sao Paulo when he was just a boy: “I remember the times I watched at home and the times I missed school to watch when my mum got crazy. It started from there. It was different to hear the music and to see the best clubs.
