Kai Havertz on Arsenal's title parade after Champions League defeat and Germany's World Cup run

Kai Havertz said he initially considered cancelling Arsenal’s celebration parade after the club’s loss to Paris Saint‑Germain in the Champions League final. He later decided the event should go ahead, noting the importance of honoring the team’s first Premier League title in 22 years with the fans.

The German forward also spoke about his role at Arsenal, emphasizing his movement and space‑creating runs rather than goal statistics. He highlighted his contributions to Germany at the World Cup, where he scored twice against Curaçao and helped the team top Group E, describing a renewed energy in the squad after past tournament disappointments.

Havertz reflected on the emotional contrast between the disappointment in Budapest and the joy of the title parade, calling the celebration one of his top professional experiences.
