Thierry Henry and Arsène Wenger shared a heartwarming moment of celebration after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) clinched their first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a stunning 5–0 victory over Inter Milan.
The two French football legends, both iconic figures at Arsenal, were visibly elated following the final whistle at the Allianz Arena in Munich, where PSG delivered a masterclass performance to secure a long-awaited European crown.
Henry, now a pundit with CBS Sports, couldn’t hide his joy as he interviewed his former Arsenal manager in the aftermath of the historic night for French football. Throughout the interview, Henry affectionately referred to Wenger as “boss”, a mark of enduring respect for the 75-year-old who shaped much of his playing career.

“It was absolutely fantastic,” Wenger said when asked for his reaction. “The difference between the teams was too big. On top of that, Inter, the way they played, they made it easier for PSG.”
Grinning widely, Henry cheekily asked, “Boss, are you happy?”
“I am happy, of course, for French football!” Wenger replied with a smile. “You know that!”

The camaraderie between the pair was evident, a reflection of their long-standing bond forged during their successful years together at Arsenal. Wenger famously brought Henry to north London from Juventus in 1999, and the striker would go on to become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, netting 228 goals and providing 101 assists in 377 appearances. Together, they won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups.
As the interview concluded, fellow pundit and Arsenal supporter Micah Richards asked to shake Wenger’s hand.
“He’s an Arsenal fan, that’s why!” Henry quipped, before Wenger walked off to continued applause and admiration.
