While many Liverpool legends are undoubtedly backing their former club to clinch the Premier League title, one familiar face, Ryan Babel, has surprised fans by openly expressing his support for Arsenal’s championship aspirations.
Despite his strong ties to Anfield, Babel admitted his long-standing allegiance to Arsenal, confessing that he has always supported the Gunners.

Reflecting on his own career, Babel shared his admiration for Liverpool and the respect he still receives from the club, despite not achieving the same level of impact as some of his former teammates. While he harbors no regrets over his move to Liverpool, he remains a die-hard supporter of the club and cherishes his involvement in the Liverpool Legends team.
