F1 legend Lewis Hamilton backs Arsenal for Champions League final

Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton has publicly backed Arsenal ahead of their 2026 UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. The seven-time world champion sent a personal video message to the team, expressing his long-standing support and pride in their journey.

Hamilton, who has supported Arsenal since he was five years old, called the upcoming final his "favourite moment." He urged the players to "keep pushing, keep believing in yourself," and assured them of his support from afar. The message, shared on Ferrari's official account, quickly resonated with Arsenal fans online, who lauded the gesture and welcomed Hamilton as "one of us."

The British driver's connection to the North London club is deeply rooted in his childhood. He has often spoken about how Arsenal has shaped his identity. Reflecting on Arsenal's recent Premier League win, Hamilton described the moment as "wow" and expressed his pride in the team's direction and performance under their current management.

Arsenal's journey to the Champions League final includes a history of near misses, notably the 2006 final where they lost to Barcelona. Now, they face Paris Saint-Germain in what is anticipated to be a significant match for the club's European aspirations.
