For Gabriel Martinelli, football has never been just a game. It’s been a dream—one that started when he was a little boy playing on dusty pitches in Brazil. Now, that dream is about to reach its highest point yet. As Arsenal prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Martinelli isn’t hiding what it means to him. “Since I started playing football when I was five or six, I had this dream to be playing in the Champions League,” he said.
Tonight’s match, he says, is the biggest of his life. Not because of the opponent or the stadium, but because it’s the kind of moment he’s imagined for years. A high-stakes European night, wearing an Arsenal shirt, with everything on the line. For Martinelli, it’s the fulfillment of a lifetime of sacrifice, training, and belief.
But it’s not just personal. He believes the entire Arsenal squad is ready—not just to compete, but to win. “We’re more than prepared,” he said. That kind of confidence doesn’t come from ego. It comes from work, from knowing that the team has earned its place on this stage. For fans, tonight’s game is a spectacle. For Martinelli, it’s everything.
