Henrik Mkhotaryan It could become the player who, from the position of holder, to win the three European current competitions. The 36 -year -old midfielder has conquered Europa League with Manchester United (2016-2017), Conference League with AS Roma (2021-2022) and can take revenge for the final of the Lost Champions League with Inter In the 2022-2023 edition, against Manchester City.
There is another former Giallosso player with a track record similar to that of Mkhatyan: Emerson palm trees. The defender, a European champion with Italy to Roberto Mancini in 2021, did not play all the finals, but won them on the line! He started with the Europa League edition 2018-2019, at Chelsea coached by Maurizio Sarri, checking 90 minutes in Victoria (4-1) with Arsenal and an assist in Giroud's success.
His last success was two years ago, in Conference League: another 90 minutes in West Ham's success (2-1) in front of Fiorentina. Between these trophies, Emerson Palmieri celebrated, also with Chelsea, the triumph in the Champions League 2020-2021 in front of Manchester City. Then, however, he looked at the London teammate on the bench.

Tomorrow Mkhitaryan can play the Champions League final from the beginning, in the PSG duel on Allianz Arena
A colleague of his, in Rome and Inter (from January), has the opportunity to establish the same amazing performance. So far, Nicola Zalewski has received more minutes in the championship than in the cup and checked one in the first leg of the victory in the “quarters” with Bayern (2-1). On the same Allianz Arena.
Zalewski had a colleague on Mkhityan in the Final Conference!
