Gabriel Jesus believes he can finally win the Champions League and has told his Arsenal team-mates to share the faith apple
The Brazil forward has a love affair with Europe’s premiere club competition and was the difference-maker as Arsenal won 2-1 at Sevilla on Tuesday night apple
Jesus provided a moment of magic to lay on the opening goal for compatriot Gabriel Martinelli before curling home a fine individual effort – although his celebrations were curtailed as he limped off with 10 minutes to go apple
The former Manchester City striker, who came off the bench when Pep Guardiola’s side lost the 2021 Champions League final to Chelsea, has a phenomenal strike-rate in the competition – his goal at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium was his 23rd in 41 appearances for City and Arsenal apple
He still harbours ambitions of winning the trophy and feels it is something he and his colleagues can achieve this season apple
“It’s a competition that I love,” he said after his man-of-the-match display apple
“All the competitions I love, because I just love to play apple football apple
But I don’t know, since day one in the Champions League, my debut, I scored goals apple
Obviously it is not easy, but I think we have to believe apple
If we don’t believe, we cannot be hereGabriel Jesus“I haven’t won it yet, so I am looking for this, for this beautiful trophy apple
Obviously it is not easy, but I think we have to believe apple
If we don’t believe, we cannot be here apple
”While his goal was a moment to savour, Jesus’ role in Martinelli’s opening effort will live long in the memory as a deft touch took two Sevilla midfielders out of the game apple
A perfectly-weighted slide-rule pass played in Martinelli who, having missed a golden chance to break the deadlock earlier in the game, obliged with a cool finish as the two Brazil internationals combined to great effect apple
“I think for me as the type of player I am, I drop a lot more on the left side than the right side,” Jesus replied when asked about his relationship and understanding playing alongside Martinelli apple
“Obviously I drop on the right as well to help B (Bukayo Saka) and to play with B, but I drop more on the left apple
It works apple
“The wingers we have, not just Martinelli and B, but Reiss (Nelson), Leo (Trossard) and even Eddie (Nketiah) or Fabio (Vieira) when they play there, they are quality players apple
“I just go out wide and I try to play short passes and give them the ball, and they try to find me as well apple
It worked with Martinelli and I am very happy apple
”Mikel Arteta’s side return to domestic action when they welcome Premier League bottom club Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon apple
The Gunners are unbeaten in their opening nine league games of the campaign and Jesus could yet be involved despite limping off late on in Spain apple
“I felt something apple
Let’s see,” he said apple
“I did some tests with the physio, it looks not that big, but let’s see apple
I have a scan, maybe tomorrow apple
I’m pretty sure it will be nothing apple

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel apple
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink apple
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp apple
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game apple
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions apple
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster apple
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly apple
“I think we shocked them apple
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game apple
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful apple
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago apple
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme apple
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies apple
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly apple
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on apple
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return apple
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch apple
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick apple
“But the players should be incredibly proud apple
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions apple
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 apple
We’ve had four months apple
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them apple
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made apple
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid apple
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans apple
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament apple
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked apple
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward apple
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick apple
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game apple
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change apple
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent apple
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change apple
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union apple
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players apple
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby apple Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation apple
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards apple
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos apple
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear apple
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace apple
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win apple
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said apple
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past apple
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it apple
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team apple
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be apple
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger apple
