"It's a dream night. I always dreamed of being a footballer. I watched when I was a kid, I watched a lot of Serie A, so to be here in this stadium and score here is tears in my eyes because I always dreamed of being here. There is always a reason that things happen even whether it's good things or difficult things. I learned that during my 11 months out of the field."
"Everyone wants to start. I am a very respectful guy. I am not a kid anymore, I am 28, so I understand football. I am very happy Vik came on and scored a goal. I am so happy I scored and Vik scored."
Gabriel Jesus scored two first-half goals and was named player of the match as Arsenal beat Inter Milan 3-1 in the Champions League at San Siro. Jesus returned to action in December after nearly a year out with an ACL tear but had mostly made substitute appearances until this start. Mikel Arteta selected Jesus ahead of Viktor Gyökeres, who later came on and also scored. Jesus opened the scoring in the 10th minute from a scuffed Jurriën Timber shot and recorded his first Champions League goal since November 2023. Inter briefly equalized through Petar Sucic.
