Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has revealed that lifting the UEFA Champions League trophy with his current club would carry more personal significance than when he won it with Chelsea in 2021.
Reflecting on his past success, where he scored the winning goal for Chelsea against Manchester City in the final, Havertz acknowledged the moment as special but believes repeating the feat with Arsenal would be even more rewarding.
“It was a great memory and a highlight of my career,” Havertz said. “But doing it with Arsenal would mean a lot more to me.”
Havertz has been gaining momentum under Mikel Arteta, becoming a crucial part of Arsenal’s attack. He recently scored in their 2–0 win over PSG, making it six consecutive home games in which he’s found the net—matching a feat last achieved by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in 2019.
He also highlighted the team’s growth, saying last season’s Champions League experience has helped them mature. “We learned a lot from last year, especially from our away match in Germany. Now we’re more experienced and ready to go further.”
While some Chelsea fans were taken aback by his comments, Havertz remains focused on helping Arsenal secure their first-ever Champions League title, a historic milestone for the club.
