Senderos - Why I threw up on the Bernabeu pitch

Many fans will remember our famous 2006 win at Real Madrid for Thierry Henry's incredible solo goal, but it sticks in the mind of Philippe Senderos for a very different reason.

Speaking on our ‘In Lockdown’ podcast, Senderos revealed exactly why he threw up on the pitch before the referee had even blown his whistle.

"That Real Madrid game, away, with an amazing Henry goal - that game was for me one of my best memories in an Arsenal shirt and on a football pitch in general,” he said.

"My Dad is Spanish, from very close to Madrid so he's supported Real Madrid all his life and me growing up, I always looked at Real Madrid being an amazing team and a team that I would love to play for in the future.
