Champions League: Gunners fans defy all odds to support their team in Paris

Arsenal supporters living in Paris rarely miss a match at the Emirates Stadium, even though this Saturday, they won't be in Budapest for the Champions League final against PSG. Stay with us to discover the incredible determination of these fans who, despite the distance, continue to follow their team.

These enthusiasts, at least a handful of them, have managed to establish a true ritual for attending matches. Mark, 55, and Raymond, 58, regularly travel to London, using the Eurostar or buses, despite the challenges. They had to give up their season tickets when they moved to Paris, but that hasn’t dampened their passion.

Their enthusiasm is palpable, like during a recent photo shoot at Trocadéro, where they sing the praises of the Gunners, ignoring the jeers. Mark, who’s been the target of playful teasing about the final, even plans to display a flag on his balcony, while Raymond hopes to get his daughter to wear a jersey. The two friends share their adventures while juggling the understanding of their partners, who aren't quite as sensitive to their need for unconditional support for Arsenal. A passion that unites them and drives them to return to London this Sunday to celebrate, if victory is theirs.
