William Saliba did something that his teammate Gabriel Magalhaes wishes he could’ve in the North London Derby.
Piero Hincapie impressed against Tottenham, replacing Gabriel in the North London Derby to partner Saliba.
It’s been a tough time for Gabriel, who will be out of action for weeks after sustaining a groin injury on international duty.
Despite not playing, Gabriel heavily celebrated Arsenal’s win over Spurs on the pitch at the Emirates, and also on social media.

Gabriel loves the North London Derby, so would’ve been gutted that he didn’t feature, but he made his presence known.

Declan Rice also got involved in the social media swipe, commenting a padlock emoji to signify that the Frenchman had locked up the Tottenham forward.

Gabriel and Richarlison have been clashing on social media for some time, with the Spurs player initiating things after the 2024 North London Derby.
Things haven’t stopped since then, as now, Arsenal fans dislike Richarlison due to his feud with Gabriel.
There was no love lost between the two players after the Gunners’ 4-1 win, with Gabriel having the last laugh over his Selecao teammate, again.
