The worst night in Arsenal’s competitive memory saw Thierry Henry fail in the Champions League final to make the difference and lift the trophy. Losing to Barcelona in Paris in 2006 will be an infamous night in the club’s history.
As Real Madrid and captain Karim Benzema prepared to face Liverpool in the same city, the Frenchman had the chance to make right what the Arsenal legend got wrong. His international teammate Hugo Lloris also failed in his attempt against Liverpool in 2019.
Henry and Lloris were both captains of a non-French side in the final and failed to win. Benzema went into the game as the next Les Bleus star with the chance to turn the trend around.
