The 74-year-old carried the Olympic torch to the city of Strasbourg, where he was born, and lit the cauldron as the country gears up for the summer Games in Paris. The official Paris 2024 social media account shared a video complete with the message: "Who better than a Gunners coach to light the Olympic cauldron. Today, Arsene Wenger carried the Olympic Flame to his native lands… in Strasbourg."

WATCH THE CLIP

The video from the Games' official account came complete with the underground rap song by 'The Away Boyz' titled 'Arsene Wenger' - a love song aimed at the manager who guided the Gunners to three Premier League titles and seven FA Cup successes.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Olympics will get underway with an opening ceremony on July 26 and run until August 11, when the iconic flame will be extinguished at the closing ceremony. The men's football competition will run from July 24 to August 9, while the women's tournament goes from July 25 to August 10.
