Piers Morgan names Arsenal’s Gabriel as player he loves most
By: Akinde .S. Oluwaseun
Piers Morgan. Arsenal diehard. Never shy. Last night? He explodes on X. “This guy was magnificent tonight. MAGNIFICENT! I love him so much.” Picture attached. Gabriel Magalhães. Towering. Smiling. Post-match hero.
Amex Stadium. Wednesday night. Arsenal vs Brighton. Tense. Seagulls flying high at home. But Gunners? Locked in. Ninth minute. Bukayo Saka. Magic. Cuts inside. Whips one in. 1-0. Brighton huff and puff. Push hard. But Arsenal’s backline? Rock. Gabriel leads it.
Brazilian beast. Everywhere. Blocks shots. Wins headers. Snuffs out threats. Brighton forwards? Frustrated. Dunk, Welbeck. Nothing. Gabriel bosses. Clean sheet. Three points. Arsenal now seven clear at the top. City? Drew 2-2 with Forest. Game in hand sure. But momentum? Gunners’.
Morgan’s tweet blows up. Likes pour in. Retweets. Arsenal fans chant. “Piers gets it!” one replies. Rivals mock. “Overhype as usual.” Classic. Piers doubles down. Always does.
Think about Gabriel’s season. Underrated? No more. Saliba partnership? Elite. Stats scream it. Tackles won. Clearances. Aerial duels. 80% plus. Arteta grins. “He’s our warrior.” From Brazil. Raw talent. Now world class.
Title race? Shifting. Opta SuperComputer. Remember? 92.84% Arsenal now. City 7.16%. Everyone else zilch. Gabriel key. Defense concedes what? Fewest goals? Yeah. Saka scores. Rice shields. Odegaard pulls strings. Perfect storm.
Flashback. Early days. Doubts. “Can they sustain?” Slips against smaller teams. But now? Unbeaten run. Ten? Twelve? Brighton tough. De Zerbi’s style. Press high. Arsenal absorb. Counter. Win ugly. That’s champions.
City side. Etihad drama. Forest equalize late. Pep fuming. Haaland nets twice? Still drop points. That game in hand. Against who? Tough. Arsenal’s run-in kinder. Gabriel’ll feast on crosses.
Fans on X. Gabriel memes. “Piers in love. Me too.” Another: “Sell Saliba? Keep Gabe forever.” Loyalty. Arsenal way.
Piers history. Loud. Calls out players. Aubameyang? Slammed. Partey? Praised. Now Gabriel top. “Loves so much.” Hyperbole? Nah. Genuine. Broadcaster knows ball. Arsenal through him? Global.
Bigger picture. North London. Trophies drought. 30 years? Ending? Feels real. Gabriel symbol. Grit. Heart. Not just flair.
Arteta post-match. “Team effort. Gabriel immense.” Modest. Morgan? All caps. Passion.
United lost to Newcastle. Villa to Chelsea. Pack shuffling. Top four battle heats. Arsenal? Eyes prize.
Brighton fans gutted. Good side. But Arsenal better. Saka man of match. Gabriel quiet king.
This league. Stories everywhere. Piers names his love. Gabriel shines. Title tilts red.
Reportersroom watching. EPL fire. More twists coming. Arsenal march on?
Word from Piers seals it. Magnificent. Indeed.
