TURN ON, TUNE IN, DROP OUT

Anthem takes Jesus back to school skive days

- MATTHEW DUNN

GABRIEL JESUS heard the Champions League theme music blaring out in the Arsenal's training ground gym this week and was swiftly taken back to his schooldays.

Unbeknown to his mum - till now - he used to bunk off school at lunchtime in Brazil to get home to watch the competition every Tuesday and Wednesday.

Safe to say, after a seven-year break, both he and Arsenal are ready to allow their Champions League love affair to begin again in earnest when PSV visit the Emirates for the opening match-day.

"Yesterday, some of them were joking in the gym, putting the music on," said Jesus.
