Piers Morgan was seen wearing a “Make Arsenal Great Again” hat during his journey to Paris via the Eurostar train service.
The broadcaster and personality is in the French capital to attend the second leg of Arsenal`s Champions League semi-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain.
Mikel Arteta`s team faces a challenging situation heading into the match in France, trailing 1-0 from the first leg played in London the previous week.
Despite the one-goal deficit, Arsenal supporters, including Morgan, have arrived in Paris hopeful of securing a spot in the Champions League final scheduled for May 31 in Munich.
Visiting fans have received warnings to exercise caution while in Paris. This warning comes as some Paris Saint-Germain supporters are known for engaging in hooliganism.
Arsenal Football Club advised its fans to take “sensible precautions.” Fans were also specifically cautioned against visiting the Auteuil suburb of Paris.
Despite these safety warnings, Arsenal distributed 2,000 scarves to the traveling fans. Many supporters have been spotted wearing these scarves throughout the city today.
Some fans proudly displayed their team colors by posing for photos in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower.
Last month, Aston Villa was in Paris for their Champions League quarter-final tie against PSG. Ahead of that match, clashes occurred involving fans in Paris`s Pigalle area. It was later reported that the Aston Villa supporters had been deliberately targeted by hooligans.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and midfielder Declan Rice visited the Parc des Princes stadium yesterday.
Speaking ahead of the game, Arteta expressed optimism, stating, “We are here to make history, and we have a big opportunity.”
He added, “We are a win away from being in the Champions League final, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world against a great opponent – it doesn’t get much better than that.”
Hopeful Arsenal fans have highlighted four potential omens that suggest a possible comeback victory this evening. Among these is the fact that PSG has lost all of their previous Champions League semi-final home legs.
