In an emotional celebration following the Champions League final, football legends Thierry Henry and Arsene Wenger rejoiced over Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) historic victory against Inter Milan. The two Frenchmen, who share a legendary status at Arsenal, were thrilled as PSG clinched the trophy for the first time in their history with a resounding 5-0 win.
The Allianz Arena in Munich was filled with joy and pride as PSG made history. The night was particularly special for Henry and Wenger, who have significantly contributed to French football throughout their careers. Their delight was evident as they celebrated this milestone in French football.
Henry couldn't contain his happiness while interviewing his former manager post-match on CBS Sports. He affectionately referred to Wenger as his 'boss', a mark of respect for the 75-year-old icon.
Heartwarming exchange between two legends
During their conversation on CBS Sports, an excited Henry asked Wenger if he was happy about the victory. "I am happy, of course, for French football! You know that!" replied an equally elated Wenger.
Arsene Wenger, Arsenal legend, said:
‘[PSG’s win] was absolutely fantastic. The difference between the teams was too big.
‘On top of that, Inter, the way they played, they made it easier for [PSG].’
Henry responded light-heartedly saying it was just a question and added that he too shared the same happiness. To which Wenger said: "Of course, Thierry...You have done a lot for French football." This heartwarming exchange ended with fellow CBS pundit and Arsenal supporter Micah Richards asking to shake hands with Wenger before he walked away.
