The year is 2019.
An 18-year-old boy, previously rejected by Manchester United after 4 unsuccessful trials, joins Arsenal Football Club from Ituano FC for a reported £6 million fee.
He’s given the No. 35 shirt.
Few knew his name. Fewer believed what he would become.
🎶 “His name is Gabi, He’s from São Paulo, And he plays for Arsenal, La la la la la la la!” 🎶
We sang whenever Gabriel Martinelli hit the back of the net.
From relentless pressing to that crucial goal against Manchester City in the title race, he quickly became one of the key sparks in Arsenal’s revival, playing with fearlessness and energy every time he stepped on the pitch.
A boy arrived wearing 35. A star emerged wearing 11 to lift the Premier league title.
But why the shirt number 35 for an unknown 18 year old?
Because ladies and gentlemen, it’s been exactly 35 days since Arsenal won the Premier League title.
Blood is thicker than water.
I met a guy today who looked so much like @_DeclanRice Declan Rice that I couldn’t stop staring. I spent a good minute trying to remember where I knew the face from.
Then he approached me for directions, and his British accent jumped out immediately.
I interrupted him and asked, “Quick one, what’s the biggest club in London?”
Without hesitation, we both yelled, “ARSENAL!” 😁😁😁
The laughter that followed was instant. As we kept talking, he casually mentioned that he was Declan Rice’s brother. Naturally, I thought he was winding me up until he pulled out his phone and showed me family photos. The only difference between him and Declan is that Declan has hair and he doesn’t. Everything else, the smile, the posture, the mannerisms is practically a photocopy of Declan.
Small world. One minute you’re giving directions, the next you’re talking football with Declan Rice’s brother.
Only @Arsenal could make strangers feel like old friends in seconds. Arsenal for LIFE! 🔴⚪️
Der algerische Fußballverband hat nach der nicht gegebenen Roten Karte gegen Lionel Messi Beschwerde bei der FIFA "wegen unfairer Schiedsrichterentscheidungen" eingereicht. Das teilte eine Quelle des Verbandes am Freitag der Nachrichtenagentur AFP mit.🚨🇩🇿
🎙️ "Die Beschwerde betrifft in erster Linie Messis Tackling, das nach allgemeiner Meinung eine Rote Karte verdient hätte. Außerdem gab es zwei Vorfälle mit Ellbogenstößen. Beide hätten einen Platzverweis rechtfertigt", sagte die Quelle des Verbandes: "Wir sagen nicht, dass die argentinische Mannschaft nicht stark war, aber wir können angesichts von Ungerechtigkeiten nicht schweigen. Es gab drei Vorfälle, die glasklar waren, und der VAR hat nicht eingegriffen."
🎙️ Für ihn sei es "eine Rote Karte", hatte auch der Bundesliga-Schiedsrichter Patrick Ittrich nach dem Spiel bei MagentaTV gesagt: "Wir haben diverse Beispiele aus der Bundesliga, wo das mit Rot bestraft wurde. Er wollte das nicht, ohne Frage, aber das ist kein Grund, keine Rote Karte zu geben."

watin you dey talk for mouth?😂 so if bruno retires today you think he has a bigger legacy than ronaldo for man u because “he carried man u for years and could’ve walked into a better team” 😭😭
your definition of “carrying” is losing 2 europa league finals btw and celebrating “21 assists record” as the captain of man united 🤡🤡
see as you dey talk like barca fan 💔
Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t need anybody to put Portugal on the map
He was getting shit done… now he is 41 & these uselesss young teammates are saying. “He is just like everyone else”
Nah my brother either you didn't watch that game or this is just agenda cos the same game I watched was totally devoid of creativity Bruno that is a Chief spammer of crosses at Man United didn't even Cross to Ronaldo in one half vithna was just doing sideways passes
We are not replacing Ronaldo.
I think starting Francisco Conceição will make Portugal play more freely.
Let me tell you what's going on. C Ronaldo is the most experienced surgeon in the operating room, but he's more used to open surgeries... he's not used to this generation quick surgeries!...
He, the most experienced can allow other younger more agile surgeons like Conceicao and he comes in later when there is a complication.
Ronaldo has nothing to prove to anyone!... he's our GOAT!
this is my two cents!
In the current Arsenal squad, there are 5 players who are 27 years old: Martin Ødegaard, Kai Havertz, Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice.
Back in 2019, Arsenal signed William Saliba for £27M from AS Saint-Étienne, a deal that has become one of the most important long-term investments in the club’s modern era.
And now the number 27 shows up again, but why?
Because it’s been 27 days since Arsenal won the league title.
you'll pay the money o, if you no see am pay make them carry you and your mama. since all of you are so stupid and dense.
these people have k!lled your fellow citizens in unspeakably brutal ways. there have been horrific, gruesome scenes, and yet you thought it was okay to collect "giveaway" money from them??
