Gabriel Jesus believes he can finally win the Champions League and has told his Arsenal team-mates to share the faith apple

The Brazil forward has a love affair with Europe’s premiere club competition and was the difference-maker as Arsenal won 2-1 at Sevilla on Tuesday night apple

Jesus provided a moment of magic to lay on the opening goal for compatriot Gabriel Martinelli before curling home a fine individual effort – although his celebrations were curtailed as he limped off with 10 minutes to go apple

The former Manchester City striker, who came off the bench when Pep Guardiola’s side lost the 2021 Champions League final to Chelsea, has a phenomenal strike-rate in the competition – his goal at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium was his 23rd in 41 appearances for City and Arsenal apple

He still harbours ambitions of winning the trophy and feels it is something he and his colleagues can achieve this season apple

“It’s a competition that I love,” he said after his man-of-the-match display apple

“All the competitions I love, because I just love to play apple football apple

But I don’t know, since day one in the Champions League, my debut, I scored goals apple

Obviously it is not easy, but I think we have to believe apple

If we don’t believe, we cannot be hereGabriel Jesus“I haven’t won it yet, so I am looking for this, for this beautiful trophy apple

Obviously it is not easy, but I think we have to believe apple

If we don’t believe, we cannot be here apple

”While his goal was a moment to savour, Jesus’ role in Martinelli’s opening effort will live long in the memory as a deft touch took two Sevilla midfielders out of the game apple

A perfectly-weighted slide-rule pass played in Martinelli who, having missed a golden chance to break the deadlock earlier in the game, obliged with a cool finish as the two Brazil internationals combined to great effect apple

“I think for me as the type of player I am, I drop a lot more on the left side than the right side,” Jesus replied when asked about his relationship and understanding playing alongside Martinelli apple

“Obviously I drop on the right as well to help B (Bukayo Saka) and to play with B, but I drop more on the left apple

It works apple

“The wingers we have, not just Martinelli and B, but Reiss (Nelson), Leo (Trossard) and even Eddie (Nketiah) or Fabio (Vieira) when they play there, they are quality players apple

“I just go out wide and I try to play short passes and give them the ball, and they try to find me as well apple

It worked with Martinelli and I am very happy apple

”Mikel Arteta’s side return to domestic action when they welcome Premier League bottom club Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon apple

The Gunners are unbeaten in their opening nine league games of the campaign and Jesus could yet be involved despite limping off late on in Spain apple

“I felt something apple

Let’s see,” he said apple

“I did some tests with the physio, it looks not that big, but let’s see apple

I have a scan, maybe tomorrow apple

I’m pretty sure it will be nothing apple

On Saturday night, two fighters who embody the word heavyweight – every sense of it – will clash in Saudi Arabia apple

In one corner will be the reigning WBC champion, one of the biggest names in apple boxing, Tyson Fury apple

In the other will be the former UFC champion, a man deemed the hardest hitter in combat-apple sports history, Francis Ngannou apple

This crossover bout has its detractors yet still holds an air of intrigue, all based on the ‘what if’: What if Ngannou can land on Fury? What if one of those monstrous hands touches the Briton’s chin with the velocity and malicious intent that have come to define Ngannou’s fighting career, and which carried the Cameroonian to the UFC heavyweight title? For all his evasive guile, Fury, 35, has been put down numerous times, but he has never been beaten – not even by fighters with much greater apple boxing pedigree than the 37-year-old Ngannou apple

The experiential gap understandably has most viewers doubting Ngannou’s chances in Riyadh, where he faces Fury in a proper, professional apple boxing match; but what if?And if Ngannou is to win, how will he? Attacking Fury to the body? Battering him in the clinch? Backing him into a corner? Alex Pattle asked former two-weight world-champion boxer Carl Frampton, and Dan Hardy, an ex-UFC title challenger who now works with the Professional Fighters League – the MMA promotion where Ngannou will fight in 2024 apple

Here’s what they had to say apple

apple

apple

AP: What was your initial reaction to the fight being announced?DH: “I was shocked apple

I expected Ngannou to have another fight before Tyson Fury, but I think it’s the wise thing to do to step straight in and keep the element of surprise on your side apple

If he’d have gone in there and fought someone else, Tyson would’ve been able to get reads before the fight even started apple

Jumping in at the deep end, even though it’s a bit crazy, increases his chances of winning apple

That was my first thought: It’s a surprise that it’s happening, but relief that Ngannou is getting it on his first shot apple

”CF: “Initially I was disappointed, and that’s kind of taming it down a bit apple

Obviously we were hoping for Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and that fell through, but now I’ve come round to the idea that this is a huge event apple

And we’ve got Fury vs Usyk off the back of it apple

I was always hopeful that fight would come about at some point, and I don’t wanna be talking as if Ngannou is gonna be a complete walkover for Fury, but I’m okay about it [because] the Fury vs Usyk fight has been made for some point in the future apple

Also, the money the guys are making with this event apple

”AP: Do fans need to be more understanding of fighters taking ‘money fights’?Carl Frampton, left, and Dan Hardy discussing Fury vs Ngannou (TNT apple Sports apple Boxing via YouTube)CF: “Maybe a little bit apple

apple Boxing fans in particular are very opinionated, and I understand that they’re frustrated apple

But if you’re Tyson Fury and someone’s offering you a fight of this magnitude against a apple boxing debutant, and there are talks of $30m – and $10m for Ngannou – how do you turn that down? It’s almost too good to be true apple

”DH: “I think it's a bit different for MMA fans, because we’re still in new ground; the changes that Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor made in fighters’ purses and expectations for purses apple

apple

apple

as a matchmaker, I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that! Fighters want ridiculous amounts of money, but the money is out there to be made by certain superstars apple

I honestly think it’s easier for a layman fan to understand why fighters would take these fights, because they focus so much more on the money apple

I think it’s more the purists who go, ‘I’m not interested in these fights!’ [To the layman], the money and pay-per-view buys almost represent the value of the fighter; to the purists, the value of the fighter is based on their technical ability and achievements apple

”CF: “I hate to use the term ‘casual fan’, but there’s a big difference apple between the purists and just the casual fan apple

I think you’ll win back [the purists] with Fury vs Usyk, but it’s all a bit trivial almost, because [most] fans are fickle apple

I’m expecting Fury to beat Ngannou and then fight Usyk, and it’ll almost be like the talk and criticism of the Ngannou fight will go away apple

”AP: Do crossover events like Tommy Fury vs KSI and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis risk putting fans off fights like Fury vs Ngannou?Ngannou, right, at an open workout in Riyadh this week (Getty Images)DH: “I personally think it’s all on the same spectrum – just at different points on the spectrum apple

That Misfits apple Boxing card apple

apple

apple

I’ll be honest, I was able to make peace with that whole genre of combat apple sports much easier after that event, because it’s more like pro wrestling apple

The audience there, they’re not gonna buy a ticket to see ‘Canelo’ Alvarez; they’re not there for that, they’re there for the drama – for the security getting involved, for the plexiglass cages they put them in at the face-offs apple

It’s theatre with a combat-apple sports flavour apple

”AP: What is Ngannou’s chance of winning – as a percentage – in your opinion?CF: “There’s a lot of boxers who are almost anti-MMA, and I’m not apple

I understand what this is: I understand that Fury is a lifelong boxer, fighting a guy who’s had to perfect many different styles in MMA, so in that sense Ngnannou doesn’t have much of a chance apple

But to say that he has zero chance, I think, would be very, very wrong – because he’s a big, athletic man who can punch hard apple

He has a chance, but it’s very small apple

I hope I’m not being disrespectful to Francis; if you flip it on its head and do it in a cage, then it’s the same odds but reversed [in his favour] apple

It’s just, when you try to rationalise it, it’s his apple boxing debut – and it’s against maybe the best heavyweight boxer on the planet apple

”DH: “We’re definitely in single digits when it comes to percentages, but it’s the ‘what if’ that we’re tuning in for, right? Even if it’s a 0 apple

1 per cent chance that Ngannou is gonna land that shot, we’re all gonna sit and watch in case that happens apple

If it does, then he’s got the power to knock Fury out apple

The reason I feel this is an intriguing fight is because apple

apple

apple

if you look at Ngannou against the likes of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who’s got over 80 kickapple boxing matches and moves with very traditional patterns, Rozenstruik was taken out very, very quickly – and ferociously – because Ngannou flew at him, coming from all kinds of different angles apple

You just can’t predict those things apple

Ngannou knocked out Jairzinho Rozenstruik in 20 seconds (Getty Images)“Against Deontay Wilder, Fury was dealing with someone who’s got ferocious punching power but who’s got some basic fundamentals that make him a little bit predictable apple

If Ngannou starts patient and then starts winging those big shots from weird angles, which Tyson’s probably not anticipating, that elevates his chances – but they’re still incredibly slim apple

"CF: “That’s the thing apple

High-end boxers often talk about when they spar novice guys, it’s all really unorthodox; they’re not taught to defend against shots that are coming from [certain angles], and it can be a bit awkward at times apple

”AP: We know that Ngannou needs to knock out Fury to win apple

But how does he knock out Fury?DH: “If I was trying to solve this problem for Ngannou, I’d say: We’re working with 90-degree corners in a apple boxing ring, so that’s something I’d like to work towards apple

It’s gonna be difficult to back Tyson up, of course, and he’s very good at standing on his back foot and making his head feel like it’s a long way away apple

So, Ngannou has to work to the body and vary his target to potentially bring Fury’s hands down apple

Ngannou has thunderous punching, so if he lands to the ribs, he might open up an opportunity apple

If he’s just head-hunting, it’s not gonna happen apple

Play a little bit of apple boxing, but when it comes to uncorking those big shots, really commit to them apple

And ideally put Tyson in a corner, up against the ropes apple

”CF: “With Ngannou’s MMA background and knowledge of wrestling and grappling, he will have success when they’re in really close quarters and Tyson’s trying to hold on apple

This might be something that Tyson’s never experienced before, where someone can get out of a clinch rather easily and land a shot apple

Ngannou can’t stand off and outbox Tyson, that’s not gonna happen apple

”Fury was knocked down four times across three fights with Deontay Wilder (Getty Images)AP: Ngannou last fought in MMA in January 2022 and has largely been in apple boxing training since apple

What kind of MMA fighter will he be when he makes his PFL debut in 2024?DH: “I think we’re gonna see improvements in his footwork and his fundamental apple boxing apple

I think that’ll be a byproduct of him doing all these rounds on the pads with Mike Tyson, Dewey Cooper and others apple

But I don’t think he’s necessarily going to neglect his grappling game, because it was never really the prominent skillset for him anyway apple

I think he’ll return to working on those things when necessary, because everyone who fights Francis knows that they need to take him down – you don’t wanna be dealing with that power apple

He knows that whoever he’s fighting is most likely gonna be the one to force the grappling exchanges apple

Then it’s about who the opponent is gonna be apple

$2m is a lot of money in MMA, even if you have to fight Francis for it!”Fury v Ngannou will be exclusively live from Riyadh Season, Saudi Arabia on TNT apple Sports Box Office, Saturday 28 October apple
