00:00How have you scored in all the Champions League games so far this season?
00:04Yeah, I mean, it's Champions League, you know, so we are looking forward to the game tomorrow.
00:10And yeah, as I said, I've been doing quite well in the last game.
00:16So yeah, we are ready for the game. We are here to win the game as well.
00:22You've had some big moments already this season against Manchester City, Atletico 12, Atletico Madrid.
00:29You've had some difficult moments over the last few months, but how much confidence have those games and moments given you going forward?
00:36Yeah, I mean, we play in a big club. I trust myself, I trust my teammates.
00:43We know the quality that we have. We have an amazing manager as well, so we know what to do in the games.
00:51So we just try to become and win game by game.
00:55Tom?
00:56Hi Gabi. Just quickly on the fallout from the weekend, obviously a very tough result against Villa.
01:01How have the team used the energy from that defeat to kind of take that going forwards?
01:06Yeah, of course we were disappointed with the result. We didn't want to lose, of course.
01:13But it happened. I think we won 18 games, if I'm not mistaken, unbeaten.
01:21So yeah, of course, frustrated with the result. We'll have to keep going.
01:27As I said before, we know the quality that we have and tomorrow we'll have another big one, so we'll go for it.
01:33And as Alex mentioned, you've been doing really well in the Champions League.
01:36If you score in that game, you'll make history about becoming the first Arsenal player to score five Champions League games in a row.
01:42What is it about the Champions League and how it differs to the Premier League that you feel gives you that maybe extra freedom space to play your best game?
01:49Yeah, I mean, it's really nice to play in the Champions League. Same in the Premier League.
01:58I think in the Champions League sometimes it's a bit more open, the game, and everyone just wants to attack and have loads of space sometimes.
02:08As in the Premier League sometimes, some teams are just, as some people say, park the bus and it's a bit more tricky to score in a 12-hour space.
02:18So yeah, I mean, I'm really happy with the goals, helping the team, and I hope to keep going.
02:24Ed?
02:25Hi, Gabi. There's a lot of competition for places up front for Arsenal in the attacking positions.
02:31Has that helped your game this season, giving you an extra incentive to try and get more time on the pitch?
02:37Yeah, of course. I want to play alongside the best ones. Here in the national team, I've said that before.
02:46It's always good to go to the national team and play with Vinny, Rafinha, Rodrigo, those players.
02:53And here at the club as well with Ebs, B, Jesus, Noni, so it's always good. We can't complain, so it's good for us.
03:01Ehsan?
03:02Hi, Gabi. What do you make of this tag of being a finisher, as in coming off the bench and having an impact on the match?
03:08And the difference between doing that and obviously being a starter? How have you adapted to that?
03:12I mean, of course, I want to play every game, 90 minutes. But I'm here to help the team. I want to win titles with this football club. I want to help. Even if I play five minutes, I'm going to go there on the pitch and try my best and try to win, to score, to help the team as much as I can.
03:33Charlie?
03:34Yeah, Gabi, in terms of the game tomorrow, how important would it be for the team to get the win, which would pretty much secure sort of a top eight?
03:44I mean, if you finish in the top eight, you're going to avoid a playoff round in February. But to do so and qualify and have two sort of dead games in January would be one hell of an achievement, wouldn't it?
03:55Yeah, of course. That would be really good for us and to give us more confidence to show what we are doing. We are doing really well and hope we can win tomorrow to secure that.
04:10Going back to Ville, you've not had many disappointing results this season. I was just wondering, did the players have a separate meeting about it on Sunday? Or was it very much when you left the ground, that was it? Or did you chat about it?
04:23What do you mean about the last game?
04:25Yeah. Yeah, I mean, as I said, we were 18 games unbeaten and of course we lost the game. We got frustrated because we want to win all of them.
04:35It's not like everything is going wrong when we lose the game. So we just try to stick together and to prepare really well for this game tomorrow.
04:49Last two, Sam and then Nick.
04:51Hi, Gabi. We've seen that Gabriel Jesus is back in the Champions League squad, obviously coming back to fitness after a long injury.
04:59Can you just explain as his teammate how important he can be, what he does for you as another attacking player on the pitch and how big it is to have him back?
05:08Yeah, it's really good. I love him. I always say that he's one of the best strikers in the world for me. So I'm really happy to have him back.
05:18Not just on the pitch but outside the pitch as well because normally when you're injured you don't spend as much time with the team as if you are there.
05:26So it's really good to have him back and playing with him as well. It's really good. He loves to link up as well to move and to rotate.
05:36So yeah, I just hope he can have some minutes in the next games and to show his talent again.
05:44Hi, Gabi. It's been a long time without little Gabi, Gabi Jesus. What's it like being emotionally to be without him and now have him back in terms of a boost to the whole squad?
05:54Yeah, of course, as I said, he's so experienced. He's played so many games for City, for us in the national team. So he's still young.
06:04I always say that to him because I watch him since I was, I don't know, 14, 13 when he went to, he was at Palmeiras in Brazil because he was 16 playing for the first team.
06:17So I always say to him that he looks older for me because I always saw him when I was 13, 14. But as I said, it's really, really, really good to have him back.
06:27And I'm really happy. And I hope, as I said before, I hope he plays in the next games a little bit just to show his talent again.
