🗣️ Thierry Henry on Arsenal’s Champions League Final defeat to PSG:
“It hurts. It really hurts.
Watching Arsenal in a Champions League final brought back so many memories for me. For years, I dreamed of seeing this club lift the trophy that always escaped us. Tonight, we were so close, yet so far.
First of all, I want to thank the players, the staff, and every Arsenal supporter around the world. The fans were incredible from the first minute until the last penalty. They deserved a different ending.
My heart goes out to Gabriel Magalhães. People will talk about the missed penalty, but football is never about one moment or one player. It takes courage to step up in a Champions League final shootout when millions are watching. Not everyone is brave enough to take that responsibility.
I know Gabriel will feel devastated tonight, but he must keep his head high. He has been a warrior for Arsenal, a leader in defence, and one missed penalty cannot erase everything he has done for this club.
Congratulations to PSG. They fought hard and took their chance when it mattered most.
To Arsenal fans, I understand your pain because I feel it too. We dreamed of celebrating together tonight, but football can be cruel. This defeat will hurt for a long time, but this team has shown that Arsenal belongs among Europe’s elite once again.
Keep believing. Our time will come.

Football can be extremely cruel, but I am so, so proud of this group of players. A special season that I will never forget. So proud. Today isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning. ❤️

🚨🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry with an Emotional Speech as Arsenal wins the 2025/2026 Premier League Title 🥹❤️
“22 years… 22 long years of waiting, dreaming, suffering, hoping and believing. let that sink in. Today, Arsenal are finally Premier League champions again and honestly… this one feels different. This one is emotional.
I know what this football club means to the people. I know what those fans have been through. People laughed at Arsenal, people mocked the club, questioned the players, questioned the process, questioned whether this team could ever come back to the top again. But they stayed together. The supporters never stopped believing.
And I have to say this… without Mikel Arteta, this would not have been possible. What he has done for this football club is unbelievable. He brought back the identity, the discipline, the connection with the fans and most importantly, the belief. He suffered, he learned, he stayed strong under pressure and today he deserves all the credit in the world.
Also, respect to Josh Kroenke and Stan Kroenke because they trusted the manager when many people wanted change. They supported the project, they stayed patient and today they are seeing the reward for that trust.
To the players… thank you. You gave everything for the badge. You fought for each other, for the fans and for the history of this football club.
And to the Arsenal supporters around the world… enjoy this moment. Celebrate it with your families, with your friends, with everyone who stayed loyal through the difficult years. Because tonight, Arsenal are back where they belong.
Champions of England again.” ❤️
Mikel Arteta, I owe you an apology.
The criticism was never hate — it was 22 years of disappointment making it hard to believe again. But credit where it’s due, you stayed locked in and proved people wrong.
Humble pie accepted.
