UCL: Thierry Henry sees Bayern Munich and Arsenal win the trophy
The former Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, believes that Bayern Munich and Arsenal currently have more balance than Barça in the race to win the Champions League.
The former Arsenal FC star, Thierry Henry, has shared his analysis of the contenders for the Champions League crown this season. According to the Frenchman, two teams stand out in the title race: Bayern Munich and Arsenal. The former Gunners forward was more reserved about Barça’s chances, held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle in the first leg of the Round of 16 played on Tuesday at St James’ Park.
Asked on CBS Sports’ set, Thierry Henry notably highlighted Bayern Munich’s collective balance, which he regards as superior to that of the Catalan club, particularly in attacking play. “Bayern Munich is much more balanced than Barcelona in the way they attack and move around the pitch”, he said. The former French international believes Barça still needs to cross a threshold to contend for the European title. “Barcelona must find that consistency and balance if it wants to win the Champions League”, he added. “But they don’t always have that balance, and that’s what makes me consider Bayern and Arsenal as the favorites to win the Champions League”, Henry concluded.
