Though some enthusiasts believe Berbatov still excels at it
Gabriel Martinelli imitated the well-known spin move of Dimitar Berbatov during Arsenal’s 2-0 triumph over Sevilla.
- The feat is difficult and can break an ankle if performed improperly, as some admirers have said that “my ACL would rupture” if they were to duplicate the move.
- Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Sevilla has moved them one step closer to securing a spot in the Champions League’s round of 16.
Arsenal took the lead in the first half thanks to a fantastic team goal by Leandro Trossard.
In north London, Bukayo Saka’s outstanding finish sealed the victory.
While the two scored goals to win the match, Martinelli, 22, won over supporters with an abhorrently amazing technique that only former Spurs and Manchester United forward Sergei Berbatov could match.
- Juanlu Sanchez was left stunned as the Brazilian, who had touched the ball just before it crossed the by-line, executed the “Berba Spin.”
And his amazing performance of the trick amazed the crowd; some even said their ankle could not have held on.
An admirer remarked, “My ACL would rupture.”
Another said, “Martinelli is blazing hot right now.”
- “That’s absolutely beautiful,” a third person said.
In 2008, Berbatov made an even more incredible turn for United against West Ham.
One person agreed, saying, “This is lovely, but Berbas’s outfit was too elegant.”

- Martinelli, who cost merely £6 million when he joined Arteta’s team in 2019, is still a source of enthusiasm for the team. Martinelli came up from lesser leagues in Brazil football.
In his 143 games with North London, the attacker has gone on to score 35 goals and dish out 22 assists.
