PSG President Invites 34 Club Legends to Champions League Final
Paris Saint-Germain has announced that 34 of its former players and historical figures have been invited to attend the Champions League final. This initiative aims to honor the icons who have shaped the capital club's history across different generations, strengthening the ties between its past and present ahead of the anticipated clash against English side Arsenal on May 30, 2026.
The list of invitees includes prominent names who left an indelible mark at the Parc des Princes, led by Brazilian star Ronaldinho, Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimović, and France's David Ginola. Through this exceptional gathering, the club seeks to rally moral support before the final match. As part of the pre-match protocol, Presnel Kimpembe has been chosen to carry the trophy onto the pitch, echoing Javier Pastore's role in the previous edition.
In its official statement, Paris Saint-Germain clarified the objectives behind this collective invitation, saying: “On the occasion of the Champions League final, the President of Paris Saint-Germain wanted to bring together the great figures who have marked the club's history.” This move reflects the management's desire to preserve the team's identity and honor the careers of the stars who represented its colors throughout different eras, especially as the French club aims to defend its continental title won last season.
The Parisian team is preparing to face English side Arsenal in the final match, scheduled for the end of this month. All eyes will be on this pre-kick-off celebration, set for 18:00. The extensive presence of these legends is expected to provide significant support for the current squad as they strive to solidify the club's dominance on European podiums.
