Match Recap

Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal's forward, hailed the victory over Inter Milan in Italy as a dream.

Arsenal beat the hosts Inter Milan 3-1 on Tuesday at Giuseppe Meazza in the seventh round of the Champions League group phase.

Jesus spoke on Amazon Prime, saying the night feels like a dream. He has long dreamed of becoming a footballer, watched many Italian league matches, and being here, playing and scoring brings tears to his eyes.

He added that there is always a reason things happen; he learned that in the 11 months since his injury, and playing Inter here after last season’s loss would be tough.

He continued that Arsenal played better and controlled the match; Inter has great players and play well on their ground, but in the end Arsenal scored and took the three points, a remarkable feeling.

Regarding starting chances, Jesus said everyone wants to begin games. He respects everyone and understands the situation.

He added that he was happy for Gio because he scored; being a striker who does not score is hard.

Finally he said he has fought with this throughout his career; he is happy that Gio came on and scored, and he is sure that given any player a chance, they will score and help the team as well.
