Gabriel Jesus seeks first Champions League title with FC Barcelona
Summary

Gabriel Jesus is targeting his first UEFA Champions League title following his move to FC Barcelona. The striker remains empty-handed in the competition after losing the 2021 final as a member of Manchester City and serving as an unused substitute during Arsenal's penalty shootout loss in the final earlier this year. Jesus stated that winning the trophy is a primary objective for his career. Currently acting as a backup striker behind Raphinha, who has transitioned from the wing to a central role, Jesus maintains he is fully fit following previous injury concerns. Over eight seasons in the tournament, he has recorded 26 goals and 8 assists in 57 appearances. FC Barcelona has not secured a Champions League title in 11 years and holds five total championships in team history.
