Gabriel Magalhaes took in Arsenal's exuberant 3-0 victory over Real Madrid swaddled under a blanket.

The injured centre-back wrapped up warm in a black Balenciaga hoodie while his wife, Gabrielle Figueiredo, celebrated rather more excitedly with friends in their VIP box.

There were fears his absence would kill off Arsenal's Champions League hopes, but two gobsmacking free-kicks from Declan Rice and a beautiful finish from Mikel Merino gave them a 3-0 advantage heading into the second-quarter final leg in Spain.

While Gabriel's face was a theatre of emotion, he remained sat down as the goals flew in, but his wife Gabrielle was more dramatic, dancing around and falling to her knees with her hands lifted high.
