Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus recently revealed his optimism about the club’s Champions League prospects, citing a conversation with teammate Kai Havertz, a £72 million acquisition in Mikel Arteta’s summer signings. Recalling their friendly banter from the 2021 final between Manchester City and Chelsea, where Havertz secured a 1-0 victory, Jesus expressed a desire to now win the Champions League alongside Havertz and Jorginho.
Having both contributed crucial goals in Arsenal’s recent 2-0 triumph over Brighton, the duo aims to extend their positive influence in the upcoming Champions League clash against FC Porto, as the club seeks to end a three-year trophy drought. Reflecting on the significance of Havertz’s impact, Jesus praised the player’s qualities, describing him as strong, tall, and always giving his best.
As Arsenal prepares to face FC Porto in the last 16, memories of their last encounter with Portuguese opposition in 2010, resulting in a 6-1 aggregate victory, fuel the team’s determination. Jesus emphasized the joy of having Havertz on the team, highlighting his immense contribution and expressing genuine enthusiasm about the prospect of winning the Champions League alongside him.
