Martinelli has established a unique achievement in the Champions League match
Gabriel Martinelli emerged as one of the standout performers in the match between Sevilla and Arsenal, which the Gunners won 2-1. The Brazilian winger opened the scoring in this encounter.
An additional feather in Martinelli's cap is that he achieved a unique milestone. The Champions League became the fourth competition in which the Brazilian managed to find the back of the net in his debut start. Prior to this, he had accomplished this feat in the English Premier League, the Europa League, and the Carabao Cup.
Gabriel Martinelli, at the age of 22, has already featured in 139 matches for Arsenal, amassing 35 goals and providing 21 assists.
It's worth noting that thanks to their victory over Sevilla, Arsenal has moved to the top of their Champions League group with six points. The Gunners hold a one-point lead over Lens and a four-point advantage over both Sevilla and PSV. Arsenal had not reached the Champions League playoffs since 2017.
