Gil becomes the third Revolution player to collect five MLS All-Star selections, joining Shalrie Joseph (8) and Taylor Twellman (5). Along with Nashville's Hany Mukhtar, Gil's five MLS All-Star selections are tied for the most in this year's showcase. The 33-year-old attacking midfielder ranks as New England's all-time leader in assists (102) and goal contributions (161), both in MLS play and across all competitions. Gil has also netted 54 goals, second most in club history, across 207 regular season appearances since arriving in New England in 2019, when he was named the MLS Newcomer of the Year.
This season, Gil has started all 14 matches for the fourth-place Revolution, with five goals and four assists, including three game-winning tallies and four selections to the MLS Team of the Matchday. The two-time MLS Best XI midfielder took home the Landon Donovan MLS MVP Award after leading the Revolution to the Supporters' Shield title. He has also claimed a record five Revolution Team MVP Awards and was named the 2021 MLS Comeback Player of the Year.
During the 2026 campaign, Gil became just the second player in team history with 50 goals and 50 assists in regular season play. Including both the regular season and MLS Cup Playoffs, Gil's 91 assists since joining New England in 2019 are tied for the most of any MLS player. The Spaniard also ranks fifth in MLS history with 43 road assists, and is tied for eighth all-time with 20 career penalty goals - a Revolution record.
