Arsenal's 'Invincibles' documentary in works with Wenger set to narrate it, fans excited

A feature-length documentary about Arsene Wenger’s time at Arsenal is set to be released in early 2022. The Frenchman is set to narrate the creation himself, with the documentary set to explore different parts of Wenger’s career, as well as focus on Arsenal’s phenomenal Invincibles season. According to Variety, the documentary will be shot by Federation Team and Noah Media Group, who have released some of the most acclaimed sports documentaries over the past few years such as Netflix's ‘Bobby Robson: More than a Manager’ and Amazon’s ‘The Edge’.

The Gunners went unbeaten in the 2003-04 Premier League campaign, with the north London outfit securing the title after securing a tally of 90 points. That feat is yet to be matched. Speaking about the documentary, Wenger said to the media: “This documentary highlights a very special period in my life & career. I have total confidence in the team & the production companies. Gabriel & Christian are probably the only directors who could persuade me to do this documentary! I will try to give the best of my memories & my life story!”

Variety reports that the documentary “will boast unseen archive and showcase original and intimate filming with Wenger, who has remained an enigmatic figure all these years.” The Frenchman left his post at the end of the 2017/18 season after years of mediocrity ultimately led for a majority of the fanbase to call for the legendary figure’s departure.
