Jesus Faces FA Punishment Risk – Arsenal Calm, Recalls Hakpo Incident!

Gabriel Jesus is at risk of punishment from the English Football Association (FA) for his celebration after scoring against Aston Villa, where he revealed a message with religious content (“I belong to Jesus”). Arsenal is monitoring the situation calmly, recalling the similar case of Cody Hakpo, who celebrated with the same message without being penalized. According to FA regulations, political, religious, or personal messages on players' equipment are prohibited. However, the most likely outcome is a simple warning, as has happened in other cases. Jesus has already expressed his deep faith on social media, posting photos and changing his profile picture. After the match, he stated that Jesus saved his life, while Kaká himself positively commented on his gesture.
