There is little love lost between between London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea. There is barely an inch given and, from managers to players to fans,, everyone is at war when the two sides meet on a football pitch. But in a rare incident of camaraderie between the two clubs, Arsenal stars Olivier Giroud, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Per Mertesacker and Joel Capmbell helped a Chelsea supporting-groom on his wedding day. Chelsea fan, Adam wanted to win over his father-in-law – an Arsenal fan – before he tied the knot with his daughter. So he asked some of the players to help him out. The Gunners responded to Adam’s request and sent a video telling Hughie, Adam’s to-be father-in-law that his daughter was in safe hands with Adam, despite him being a Chelsea fan. Olivier Giroud was at the forefront doing all the talking with Oxlade-Chamberlain, Per Mertesacker and Joel Campbell flanking him. Watch the video below.
This gentle act may not pacify an age-old rivalry, but will hopefully help make Adam’s big day special. He will surely be thankful to Olivier Giroud and co for delivering timely help, and hope his father-in-law isn’t too miffed with the Arsenal superstars for failing to deliver a lot of silverware in the past. Nonetheless, one can’t help but appreciate the Gunners for being so receptive and prompt with the Chelsea fan’s request. Maybe they would be hoping Chelsea take it slightly easier than usual when the two sides lock horns in the Premier League next season.
