UCL final: Thierry Henry to present trophy as Arsenal face PSG

Arsenal icon Thierry Henry and PSG cult hero Presnel Kimpembe are poised to take the UEFA Champions League trophy to the pitch before Saturday’s Champions League final between Les Pariesiens and the Gunners, Le Parisien understands.

This follows the tradition of former players of the two finalists presenting the trophy before the match.

Last year, Javier Pastore and Javier Zanetti were given the responsibility, before PSG thrashed Inter Milan in Munich.

Kimpembe has already confirmed to Le Parisien that he has been chosen by the Ligue 1 side to deliver the trophy.

He said: “It’s a great honor to represent Paris Saint-Germain in this Champions League final.

“I hope it’ll bring luck to the team and to all Parisian supporters.”
