Best Gabriel x Martin XI
After the news of Arteta's son Gabriel playing for our U17s, I wondered what the best XI of players with Gabriel or Martin in the name would be.
I decided Martinez would also count; also, middle names count, otherwise it ends up being a bunch of random Gabriels from Brazil, not really an interesting lineup. Unsurprisingly, we have around half the XI already. I think this is part of our squad building strategy. I'm sure I missed someone obvious, so I'm braced for the comments to let me know.
\--
Here's the XI:
1. GK: David Raya Martín
2. RB: Gabriel Paulista (I couldn't think of a better one, unless you take Alejandro Balde Martinez and invert him)
3. CB: Gabriel Magalhaes
4. CB: William Alain André Gabriel Saliba
5. LB: Alejandro Balde Martínez
6. DM: Martin Zubimendi
7. DM: Javi Martínez (37 and a free agent, this was by far the worst spot in the XI. I was surprised I couldn't think of any more CMs named Martin or Gabriel)
8. 10: Martin Ødegaard
9. RW: Gabriel Martinelli (double hit)
10. LW: Gabriel Jesus
11. CF: Lautaro Martínez
Bench:
Emi Martínez
Iñigo Martínez (CB)
Gerard Martín (Full-back)
Gabriel Barbosa (Forward)
Martin Terrier (Winger)
Martin Gabriel (18, Montpellier)
Gabriel Moscardo (20, PSG)
I got bored after this. These are surprisingly hard to find.
Coach:
This was tougher than I thought to come up with names for. I eventually thought of Roberto Martínez, but you could argue for Tata Martino (not sure what he's been up to since Barca).
