Makes six clearances vs Morocco

Gabriel recorded one tackle (zero won) and six clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Morocco.

Analysis: Gabriel was beaten by Ismael Saibari in Morocco's opener, but led Brazil in clearances to help them avoid what would be their first World Cup debut loss since 1934. The Arsenal centerback also made the most blocks (two) and won the second most aerials (two) for his side. He's coming from a major role in his club during the Premier League title and the Champions League great campaign.

Defensive stalwart for Brazil

Gabriel is expected to start at center-back for Brazil in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Analysis: Gabriel should partner with Marquinhos at center-back in Carlo Ancelotti's back four. The Arsenal defender was a key component of one of Europe's best defensive lines during the 2025/26 season, playing a major role in a campaign in which the Gunners won the Premier League and reached the UEFA Champions League final. Gabriel helped Arsenal record 23 clean sheets between EPL and UCL while also tallying four goals and five assists in the process.
