Richarlison Controversially Agrees with Post Slamming His International Teammate Gabriel

• Richarlison taunted his international teammate, Gabriel, using a post on social media
• The Tottenham star 'agreed' Gabriel was a third-choice defender for the national team
• This came days after the Gunners beat their North London rivals in the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur forward, Richarlison, has attracted criticism after appearing to taunt his international teammate, Gabriel Magalhães, on social media.

The two Brazilians recently clashed in the North London derby, where Gabriel’s Gunners emerged 3-2 winners.

Richarlison started the game on the bench but was eventually brought on in the second half. Since his return from injury, he has continued to garner minutes on the pitch for Spurs.

He had an instant impact in the game thanks to his physical presence up front. Tottenham pulled two goals back, but it was not enough to mount a comeback against the title-chasing Gunners.

Richarlison subtly slams Gabriel

Days after the derby, Richarlison was still in the mood to taunt Arsenal fans.

A video shared by a Tottenham fan account showed a moment in the North London derby when the Spurs forward collided with Gabriel, and was subsequently booked by the referee.

The caption read, "Brazil’s first choice striker Vs Brazil’s last choice CB."

Richarlison reposted the clip, presumably taking shots at the Arsenal defender, who only has six caps for the Brazil national team. In contrast, the Spurs forward has 48 caps, and has scored 20 goals for Seleção Canarinha.

There seems to be no love lost between players from the North London clubs, regardless of whether they share a dressing room in international football.

According to Express Sport, Richarlison and Gabriel were briefly involved in a confrontation at full-time as Arsenal players went to the corner flag to celebrate their crucial win.

Despite getting slated by Tottenham fans on social media for his shortcomings in the national team, Gabriel has been a revelation under Mikel Arteta.

The Brazilian has formed a formidable partnership alongside William Saliba, and the pair have formed one of the strongest defences in the Premier League this season, according to Who Scored.

Rumour has it that a bumper new deal is on the cards for Gabriel.

Spurs thought they had salvaged a draw when Micky Van de Ven pounced on a loose ball from David Raya to score.
