Gabriel Magalhaes brutally trolls Tottenham Hotspur legend following international friendly win

Gabriel Magalhaes could not resist a subtle dig at former Tottenham Hotspur hero Heung-min Son following Brazil’s latest win.

The five-time World Cup winners were in friendly action on Friday having already qualified for next summer’s tournament.

Brazil booked their place in Canada, Mexico and the USA back in June.

Ahead of the finals, they continued their preparations against South Korea in Seoul.

Estevao and Rodrygo both scored twice before Vinicius Jr. added a fifth in a 5-0 route.

Arsenal centre-back Gabriel played the full 90 minutes for the visitors, keeping a clean sheet as he won his 16th cap for the national team.

He also lined up against Spurs legend Son, who remains the South Korean captain.

Son previously spent a decade at Spurs, which concluded with him captaining the club to Europa League glory in May.

Although he has since left north London to join MLS side LAFC, Gabriel reignited their rivalry after the match.

The Gunners defender took to social media to celebrate the victory.

He shared a series of snaps to Instagram, including one of a dejected Son with Gabriel lurking in the background.

Alongside the post, he wrote: “Great win! We continue together in pursuit of our goal!”

Brazil’s win over South Korea also saw Gabriel extend his own impressive record in meetings with son.

The pair had previously met in ten north London derbies prior to Son’s Spurs exit.

Although the forward scored seven goals in those matches, he was only on the winning side twice.

Meanwhile, Gabriel is now unbeaten in his last seven meetings with the Tottenham legend.

He could extend that record next summer, with South Korea also qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

It will be their 11th consecutive appearance, with Son featuring for his country in the last three of those.

Both sides will discover their group stage opponents when the draw is made in Washington DC on December 5.

Despite his lack of success when facing the Brazilian, Son is beloved by Spurs supporters.

He holds the record tally for both goals and appearances by a non-English player for the club.

Between 2015 and August of this year, Son scored 173 goals in 454 appearances across all competitions.
