It looks like Booking.com is cashing in on football fever in France with this trip down memory lane with Thierry Henry. However, in this instance, the French national was playing for FC Barcelona against Manchester United in the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final.

The match was played in Rome and Henry seems to be able to vividly recall his stay. It’s arguably true that a restful stay probably helped his side’s 2-0 victory, and the ex-Arsenal ace certainly didn’t seem to remind returning to exact same room in the five-star hotel, an incredible seven years later.

According to the booking platform, 34% of people who travelled for sport in the last year say they'd prioritise going to a major sporting event over their own honeymoon – and that’s from a pool of almost 4,000 respondents. That probably why Booking.com has a mini-site dedicated to soccer sporting trips.
