GABRIEL went wild with his friends and family after Arsenal booked their place in the next round of the Champions League.
The defender had to watch on from home as his team created history at the Bernabeu, winning 2-1.
Gabriel suffered a season-ending hamstring injury against Fulham earlier this month.
His right leg is in a brace so he was sprawled out on the sofa watching the Gunners in Madrid.
But when Gabriel Martinelli grabbed the winner he still celebrated widely, accompanied by friends and family.
He fistpumped the air and was quickly surrounded, but the Brazilian made sure to hold off anyone getting too close.

Another added: “That family member that’s close to Gabby’s leg -escort him away right now!”
A third wrote: “Need him to be more careful. Need a buffer zone of at least three feet around that leg.”
