The UEFA Champions League finals have about 450.1 Million viewers watching, while the NBA just has 17.8 Million. Considering that it’s a great leap into a different world for the future Hall Of Famer. In the Clip, Champions League legend and host Henry took DJ to sit on his lap while the Green revealed it was their first time watching the UEFA finals. The football legend then asked the Kid about who’s gonna win and DJ calmly said “Madrid.”
Later the other host asked Draymond how he knew the Arsenal Legend to which he said, “We met back in 2016-2017, I was on an NBA trip and I had the honor of meeting him, you know.” He further added, “He’s (Thierry Henry) been family to me, and took care of me whenever I come to Europe.”
So, looks like Draymond will have a stress-free time in Wembley despite the huge pressure back at home.

Who will win the UEFA Champions upon Draymond Green’s first visit?
Real Madrid undoubtedly brings a wealth of experience to the Champions League Final. The club is poised to benefit from having up to seven players who started in their 2022 victory over Liverpool. In contrast, Mats Hummels is expected to be the only remaining starter from Dortmund’s 2013 defeat, although Reus remains a possibility, having started three of the last four matches.
On the historical front, Dortmund might find some solace in the fact that each of the last four Champions League Finals ended 1-0, a scoreline that could favor the German club, which scored just seven goals in the Group Stage. So who will take home the biggest prize in Europe, Madrid or Dortmund? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
