Gabriel Jesus Could Break Cristiano Ronaldo’s Record
Gabriel Jesus is on the verge of making Champions League history as Arsenal prepare to face Shakhtar Donetsk. The Brazilian forward is poised to break a record held by Cristiano Ronaldo for the most goals scored in the group stages of the competition.
Currently, Jesus has netted 21 goals in the Champions League group stage, just two shy of Ronaldo’s long-standing record of 23. With Arsenal’s form in the tournament and Jesus’ consistent performances, the Brazilian could surpass the Portuguese legend in this week’s clash against Shakhtar.
Since joining Arsenal, Jesus has been a vital part of Mikel Arteta’s squad, contributing not only with goals but also with his playmaking and pressing ability. In European competition, his sharpness has been particularly notable, and his performances have drawn praise for his ability to step up in key moments.
Speaking ahead of the match, Arteta expressed confidence in his star forward: “Gabriel is a top player. He thrives on big occasions, and I’m sure he’ll be up for the challenge against Shakhtar. If he keeps this form, breaking records will be the natural outcome.”
Ronaldo’s record has stood for several seasons, but Jesus’ prolific form in the group stages of this year’s tournament means he could soon be the new leader in this category. Arsenal fans will be eager to see if their star striker can make history in what is shaping up to be an important game in their quest for European glory.
If Jesus can surpass the mark, it would be a significant achievement in his career and further solidify his status as one of the most reliable forwards in the Champions League.
