Gabriel suffered a season-ending hamstring injury against Fulham earlier this month.
His right leg is in a brace so he was sprawled out on the sofa watching the Gunners in Madrid.
But when Gabriel Martinelli grabbed the winner he still celebrated widely, accompanied by friends and family.
He fistpumped the air and was quickly surrounded, but the Brazilian made sure to hold off anyone getting too close.
Gabriel shared the video on social media which sparked some concern from fans.
One said: “Mind his leg FFS ”
Another added: “That family member that’s close to Gabby’s leg -escort him away right now!”
A third wrote: “Need him to be more careful. Need a buffer zone of at least three feet around that leg.”

Two minutes later, Vinicius Junior pounced on a dawdling William Saliba to fire into an empty net and give Real a glimmer of hope.
But not only did Arsenal hold on, Gabriel Martinelli scored on the counter-attack in injury time to round off a famous 5-1 aggregate win over the reigning champions.
