At the beginning of the 2012–13 season, Gabriel was signed by Milan to serve as backup for Christian Abbiati and Marco Amelia.

He finished his second season at Milan with seven appearances.

After remaining on the bench for the first two games, Gabriel made his debut in the tournament in the third and last match of the group stage against New Zealand, which Brazil won 3–0. He retained his place as a starter in each of the following three games, as Brazil went on to win the silver medal after being defeated 2–1 by Mexico in the final.

Three days after playing in the Olympic final, on 15 August 2012, Gabriel made his senior debut for Brazil, featuring as a starter in a 3–0 friendly win over Sweden, having the distinction of playing his first professional match at full international level.

Gabriel was part of the Brazil under-20 squad that won the South American Youth Championship in February 2011, appearing in eight games out of nine.
