PSG’s opponent in the Champions League final, this Saturday in Budapest (kick-off at 6 p.m., live on M6 and Canal+), Arsenal will be supported by several former French internationals in the stadium. In addition to Thierry Henry who will bring the cup to the big ears (alongside Presnel Kimpembe) and Robert Pirès who is part of the Canal commentator team, we will find Olivier Giroud among the former Gunners present in the bays of the Puskas Arena.
Giroud, Arsenal striker from 2012 to 2018 (105 goals in 253 matches), took the plane on Saturday morning alongside Mohamed Elneny, Egyptian midfielder for the London club from 2016 to 2024. The Isérois has become a public favorite over the years. The supporters of the Emirates Stadium obviously reserved a song inspired by
Hey Jude of the Beatles. The 2018 world champion won three FA Cups with the Gunners (2014, 2015 and 2017) before joining Chelsea, where he lifted the C1 as well as the Europa League.
Giroud in support of Gyökeres
The one who has just played a season with Losc and who will be free from any contract in a few days recently mentioned the first season of Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish center forward recruited for 75 million euros last summer.
“Above all, Gyökeres is a great striker for me. When I arrived at Arsenal, Arsène gave me time to adapt, he gave me confidence, it wasn’t easy because Robin van Persie had just left. I needed time, confidence, Arsène gave it to me, and I think Arteta does the same with Gyökeres. I think he can fit in well at the club. I don’t know if he will play in the final, but I hope so against PSG.”launched Giroud on the YouTube channel The Good, The Bad & The Football. Kai Havertz could start up front against the Parisians.
