Cech called Europa League final quirk of fate
12.05.19 / 08:00
With Cech in the squad, Arsenal beat Valencia 4-2 away on Thursday and 7-3 on aggregate in the semifinal to set up the final clash against the Blues who edged past Frankfurt on penalties.
The final will be the last professional match for the 36-year-old Cech, who spent eleven seasons with Chelsea before joining their arch-rivals in 2015 and who announced he would retire after this season.
"It was all set for an Arsenal versus Chelsea final for me, in the last game of my career, and destiny played it like this in the end," Cech said in an interview for his Czech agency Sport Invest.
"It's a quirk of fate really, and it fits my story".
