On 6 May 2026, Thierry Henry, the legendary striker of Arsenal and the French national team, shared his feelings after Arsenal reached the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League final, recalling the 2005-06 final when they lost 1-2 to Barcelona.
Thierry Henry said, "I feel excited to watch my beloved team compete for Europe's biggest trophy. You (Arsenal players) must not lose the final because losing is incredibly painful. It's something very difficult to handle, and you know what to expect. So, you have to win."
"If Arsenal really wins the championship, it will be the day I appear on a show feeling what Jamie Carragher with Liverpool and Micah Richards with Manchester City have experienced. I've never felt that before. As a fan, honestly, I don't care about how the game plays out in the final. The only thing I want is for them to win the trophy."
