Kai Havertz is desperate to relive the greatest moment of his career as he prepares for Saturday's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. The Arsenal striker scored the winner when Chelsea beat Manchester City in the all-English final in 2021, a moment he still describes as a dream come true.
Now, five years on, Havertz has the chance to repeat that success with Arsenal. He said: 'Personally, it is something I will never forget. As a kid I could have never dreamt that I would score a goal in the final and win that game. I just try to take that feeling to next Saturday and, hopefully, I will get that feeling again.'
Havertz joined Arsenal two years after that triumph and has brought a winning mentality to the squad. He believes winning the Champions League is the ultimate test, saying: 'Along with the Premier League, it is probably the hardest competition to win. There is just so much history with it.'
The German international also reflected on a mixed season, including the low point of losing the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City. He said: 'It was a moment where we felt like we could do so much better. From that moment, things changed a bit and we were more successful.'
Havertz insists it does not matter if Arsenal are seen as underdogs against PSG. He added: 'For us, it is the second time the club has made it to the final, but we have so much confidence. We have been fighting on the highest level for a couple of years now and we have finally won the Premier League.'
