A group of Arsenal footballers, affectionately known by fans as the “Bible Brothers”, have celebrated their recent Premier League title win while openly dedicating the moment to God.

The group of players, including Gabriel Martinelli, Miles Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel Magalhães, Piero Hincapié, Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Jesus and Max Dowman, recently posed for a celebratory photo displaying their medals and trophy while several made the sign of the cross.

Meanwhile, Cristian Mosquera wore a shirt reading: “Made for God, by His glory.” Piero Hincapié also held up a white shirt with the words: “I belong to Jesus.”

Many of the players have previously spoken publicly about their faith and have not shied away from sharing how their relationship with God influences both their personal lives and football careers.

Noni Madueke previously told the Premier League in December 2025 that a number of players regularly pray together before matches and take part in Bible studies while staying at team hotels. He said their shared faith creates a deeper sense of connection and support, adding: “We believe that we have God fighting for us… it just brings us closer together.”

Jurrien Timber, who fans have nicknamed “Pastor Timber”, has also spoken openly about the importance of Christianity in his life. In an interview with The Athletic, he described faith as more than a belief system, calling it “a way of life” that brings “unity and understanding”.

Timber has also shared Bible verses on social media before matches, saying the passages often come to mind naturally through conversations with teammates, family and friends.

Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka told GQ in 2022 that faith plays a significant role in his everyday life. He said he tries to carry biblical messages into how he lives, adding that the Bible given to him by his father remains one of his most treasured possessions.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has also acknowledged the role faith plays within the squad, suggesting it positively contributes to players’ wellbeing and strengthens relationships within the team.

 Arsenal's Premier League champion title is the first for the team in 22 years.
