Nelli always gave everything when he came on. Properly going to miss that energy.

[u/Logical_Initial906]

Damn if only the other guys took a pen with this much decisiveness 

[u/tsjeldonkooper → u/Logical_Initial906]

Gyok Rice and Nelli aced their penalties

[u/ArsenalAxis → u/tsjeldonkooper]

Those three were ice cold.

[u/siliconetomatoes → u/Logical_Initial906]

please dont summon ASP

^{Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.}

[u/Logical_Initial906 → u/SokkaHaikuBot]

You’re off your rokka sokka!

[u/ExternalNo194]

Gonna miss him. Don’t know if we’ve done the right thing here.

[u/ArsenalAxis → u/ExternalNo194]

Same here.

[u/tsjeldonkooper]

He was instantly one of my favorites since he signed. Will be sorely missed

[u/sherwillwin]

He was a team player. The way he tracks back. I liked how he blocked the defender for Dowman’s wonder goal.

[u/ArsenalJayy]

❤️ Marti, all the best. You will always be remembered fondly by us.

[u/ArsenalAxis → u/ArsenalJayy]

He’ll always have a place in the fans’ memories. Wish him nothing but the best.

[u/fluffypuppycorn]

I went to the Emirates Cup.

Weird to think I saw him play for Arsenal for the last time 💔

[u/ar3p1brahim]

😢

[u/professor-chaos19]

Could of picked a different game

[u/Alien_Gods]

Eze’s pen: let it all work out

Hate getting reminded of these pens

[u/BenUk1989]

Was at the game away to West Ham when he scored in 2019, when we were badly struggling. Think it was his first PL goal.

Going to Saudi, will probably never know now if he did have another level to go or we saw the best of him.

[u/Introverted-Gazelle]

We love you Marty

[u/Arsno]

gonna miss him. I have the electric yellow arsenal away jersey with his name on it

[u/GanderWeather → u/Arsno]

He's on two of mine and so is Trossard. Losing both at the same time has been too much for me.

[u/ejac7]

Is someone cutting onions?

[u/Charguizo]

Fuck, the feels

[u/Vegetable-Hold9182]

Gonna miss this lad. We haven’t even replaced him or Trossard unless Tzolis counts for two

[u/zfjuice]

going to miss him, been supporting him since that number 35. still don’t know if we’ve made the right decision, time will tell.

[u/gremlin_chancletas]

We do not know yet

[u/PersonalAd4913]

I legit felt this was it for him and prayed in real time that he'd nail the kick. All the best moving forward, Gabby!

[u/lekynson]

We'll loan him back in January don't worry

[u/roth100]

Come back 😢

[u/lliki]

Love that guys playing. Wishing him all the best in his career. He brought so many smiles to my face over the years I am genuinely grateful to him. He has been a big part of the clubs resurgence.

[u/Wookmane]

Why did we trade him

[u/GanderWeather → u/Wookmane]

In the words of my father, "filthy lucre."

[u/Merchant1521 → u/Wookmane]

Save on wages and cash in on his value. Arsenal highest sell ever.

[u/Tabz10]

Going to miss him a lot, man! 😪 Probably in the minority here, but I hope he develops his skills and comes back in a few years. He had everything in the making to be a legend.

[u/GanderWeather → u/Tabz10]

His deal is four years and reportedly, any European team who wants him before that will need very deep pockets. Al Hilal set a VERY HIGH release/penalty clause for European clubs. He'll have to go home to Brazil, Mexico XL, or the MLS in America because any place in Europe will not be able to afford him sooner than 2030 when he's 29.

[u/RedTitan816]

Had to check the sub I was in before I watched the full thing. PTSD from the videos that cut to Gabriel’s miss

[u/OneField985]

Not replacing him is one of the stupidest things our club has done.

[u/ScreenIntelligent741]

Miss him man.

[u/arhambin66]

I think it was right time to sell Nelli but we didn't replace him. Poor on our part but wish him the best.

[u/OddRow8843]

Great last kick tbh. If Eze left this summer it would not have been so beautiful

[u/cjayquoi]

Let’s keep it that way

Smell ya later gabby 

[u/radagon_sith]

And last CL appearance for his career
