Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes says the club will be "in his heart" forever as they stand on the verge of a historic Premier League and Champions League double.
The Gunners defeated Atletico Madrid in midweek to book a place in the final of Europe's top club competition for the first time in exactly two decades, while wins in their last three league matches would be enough for a first Premier League title since 2004.
The Brazilian has been one of the main components of this Arsenal side since joining in 2020, and he spoke glowingly of the support he has received from the fans over the last six years.
He told ESPN: "I think that since I arrived at Arsenal, I have been very well received. So it's the club that I have in my heart forever.
"I'm very happy here. I feel at home, my family loves the club. It's been satisfying for me to have all this time with the Arsenal jersey, so I certainly want to achieve great things here.
"I'm about to reach six years at the club. I do still have dreams to come here. I am happy and I hope to be able to bring a lot of joy to the fans who deserve it".
The 28-year-old also went on to say that the mood was relaxed amongst the group of players, despite being just a few matches away from career-defining achievements.
He said: "We are living in a moment... a very intense year, because everyone knows, we are in every competition.
“We have a very good group, where all the players are happy, they are able to have opportunities. And our expectation is that we can go step by step.
"We certainly want to win titles, but we also know that it's very difficult, but we have to keep in mind that we can do it.
“So we are very relaxed about that,for sure we are under pressure, everyone says a lot of things from the outside, but we here have a good headspace and are focused on what is to come."
Gabriel has 17 caps for Brazil, while he has made 257 appearances for the North London club, scoring an impressive 24 goals.

He’s being honest, for nobody goes into a game with no believe. Do you expect him to say that they can’t succeed. Grow up.!!!!

What about cwc ☺️
Are you serious, that tournament was a joke, players are fatigued and lots of clubs didn’t want to participate in it. Plus PSG were in a half with the European teams. Chelsea rested players till the final for they had no elite teams in their group. PSG were knackered in the final. You must surely know that.
