“Too early”. Henry weighs in on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Champions League

46-year-old French expert Thierry Henry He evaluated Arsenal’s chances of winning the Champions League.

“Actually, it’s still early. As a fan, I want them to win. But the number of matches you have to play in England… can be overwhelming,” Henry told CBS Sports.

However, the manager of the France U-21 team did not rule out the possibility, noting Arsenal’s performance when they reached the final in 2006.

If you had told me that Inter would reach the final last year, I would have said no from the beginning. If you had said that Milan would reach the semi-finals, I would not have agreed.

If you had told me in 2006 that this team and I would reach the final, even though I was playing for Arsenal, I would have said no. But we broke up. So you have to have faith, you never know what will happen. There are teams in these competitions that are way ahead of the others in terms of having already played big matches, having won them, so these guys are ahead,” added the Frenchman.

Note that Arsenal’s opponents in the group stage were Lens, Sevilla and PSV. In the first round, the British defeated the club from Eindhoven with a score of 4:0.

Henry made 377 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 228 goals and providing 103 assists.
