Champions League: a final between PSG and Arsenal that reveals unusual connections between their leaders.
Stay with us to discover how Arsène Wenger and Thierry Henry have forged strong ties between these two football giants, despite past tensions related to the Super League.
The relationship between Nasser al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG, and Stan Kroenke, owner of Arsenal, goes beyond friendship. They collaborate on various projects, including the NBA's arrival in Europe. Kroenke, an American businessman, also owns the Denver Nuggets, which strengthens the bond between the two men through Qatar Sports Investments.
Despite only five players having worn the colors of both clubs and a history of seven encounters (2 wins each, 3 draws), the bridges between Paris and London are strong, particularly thanks to Wenger and Henry. Wenger, long rumored to join PSG, maintains close ties with Qatar. The tensions surrounding the Super League in 2021 tested this agreement, but both clubs now seem to be on the same wavelength. Arsenal, after leaving the ECA, has reintegrated the community, thus easing relations with PSG as this crucial final approaches.
