Gabriel Jesus had waited 11 long months to be back on the pitch after suffering an ACL injury back in January, and he couldn’t stop smiling after the 3-0 win over Club Brugge.
Our No. 9 came on in the second-half in Belgium, and was immediately involved in the action, hitting the crossbar with one shot, and forcing two saves from the keeper, despite only playing half an hour.
It was as if he had never been away, and he put his recovery down to his faith.
“First of all, I want to say thank you to God,” he said after the game.
