Goodbye Martinelli (Arsenal Football Song)
Gabriel Martinelli says goodbye to Arsenal after seven years. Manchester United and Barcelona both turned him down as a teenager, but Arsenal signed him from Ituano for six million pounds and he grew into a Premier League champion in north London. This farewell ballad walks through the sixty-seven yard Goal of the Season at Stamford Bridge, the stoppage-time strike at the Bernabeu, two hundred games with the number 11 on his back, and the title that finally arrived in his seventh season.
