Arsenal were forced to part ways with their captaincy after the 2006 Champions League final, and many fans were left in awe of the club's captaincy. Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger's decision to hand the No. 10 shirt to defender William Gallagher led to criticism from fans. Gallagher held the captaincy for one season before moving to London rivals Tottenham. After Gallagher's departure, Fabregas, who was already showing signs of improvement at a young age, took the captaincy without any controversy.

He captained Arsenal for three seasons before moving to Barcelona at the height of his career. Van Bercy joined Arsenal at a young age and struggled with injuries, but by the time he became captain, he had completely recovered from his injuries and became the Premier League's top scorer, a monster feared by opposing defenders and goalkeepers. Van Bercy moved to rivals Manchester United and left Arsenal in a big way. Van Bercy was replaced as captain by defender Vermaelen, who left for Barcelona two seasons later. Mikel Arteta, the club's oldest player, was given the captaincy, but he struggled with injuries and retired from playing. The Arsenal captaincy was then handed to Koscielny, but he also suffered from injury problems.

Unai Emery's marriage saw Xhaka become a club captain, and he was forced to leave the club after he fell out with the fans and took off the captaincy and cursed. Aubameyang was also not a good captain, and Ozil was not lucky with the captaincy. Arsenal's captaincy has always been a problem for players who have either suffered injuries or have shown good form. Arsenal lost a captain like Henry after the 2004 Champions League final, and the captaincy has always been a curse. When you talk about a captain, you can see the likes of Vieira and Kane shouting and screaming on the pitch. In 2022, Arsenal manager Arteta handed the captaincy to Martin Odegaard, who was only 23 years old and had just arrived at the club.

When the calm Odegaard was given the captaincy, there was a lot of criticism. Odegaard has proven time and time again that he deserves the captaincy. Odegaard has shown how to manage a team without shouting. Odegaard has always been a warm-hearted player, and after every game, he greets the fans before leaving the pitch. He has always been a good friend to Arsenal's academy players and has been a great leader in the dressing room.

Odegaard has broken the curse of the captaincy that has plagued Arsenal since Henry in 2004. A big thank you to everyone who has been there to support him.
