Piers Morgan vows to pull a 'full John Terry' if Arsenal win Champions League in Budapest

Piers Morgan has pledged to replicate John Terry’s infamous full-kit celebration if Arsenal defeat Paris Saint-Germain in Saturday’s Champions League final in Budapest, doubling down on his involvement in the club’s Premier League title lift at Selhurst Park earlier this month.

Speaking on talkSPORT, the broadcaster and lifelong Arsenal supporter said: “If we win the Champions League tomorrow night, I am bringing a full Arsenal kit to Budapest and if we win the Champions League, I’m pulling a full John Terry everybody.”

The reference is to Chelsea defender Terry, who lifted the 2012 Champions League trophy in full playing kit despite having been suspended for the final itself — a moment that became one of football’s most enduring talking points.

Morgan had already drawn scrutiny for his presence on the Selhurst Park pitch during Arsenal’s title celebrations, with some supporters questioning why a celebrity fan was sharing the moment with the players. He was photographed with Declan Rice’s winner’s medal around his neck, though he clarified the England midfielder had approached him voluntarily.

“I’ve had a bit of stick for having the audacity to accept an invitation having paid full price for four tickets two months ago to Selhurst Park for what turned out to be the trophy fun,” Morgan said. “If there’s an Arsenal fan on God’s earth who would have said no in that moment I’d like their name and details please. So as Conor McGregor would say, I apologise for absolutely nothing.”

When challenged on X about calling for Arteta’s dismissal in the manager’s earlier years at the club, Morgan acknowledged the criticism directly: “He proved me and a lot of people wrong, and I couldn’t be happier about it.”

Arsenal head into the final as Premier League champions but without a European Cup in their history. PSG, meanwhile, are chasing back-to-back Champions League titles, having won the competition last season.
