Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has revealed who he thinks will win the Champions League this season.
The Gunners were held to a 2-2 draw by Bayern Munich in the first leg of the quarter-finals on Tuesday. We played some good football at the Emirates, but two uncharacteristic errors gifted the visitors their goals.
Arsenal will go into the return leg with a clean slate as the away goals rule is no longer in play. We still have every chance to go through to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Before the game at home on Tuesday, Henry predicted who will win the competition this season.
Arsenal legend Thiery Henry predicts 2024 Champions League winner
Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world.
We are not just an incredible side on the pitch these days, but we have fans from across the world, making us a global brand.
The Gunners have won a total of 48 trophies in our history, but the one title that has eluded us is the prestigious Champions League.
The draw against Bayern Munich on Tuesday is not ideal, but the scores are level, and we are more than capable of getting a result at the Allianz Arena.
Before the game at the Emirates, Thierry Henry and his pals on CBS Sports predicted who they think will win the four quarter-finals, the two semi-finals and of course, the final to lift the Champions League this season.
Jamie Carragher broke down how he thinks each round of matches will play out, but Henry didn’t care to talk about the other clubs in the competition.
The legendary Frenchman, who is Arsenal through and through, claimed that he thinks the Gunners will be the ones to go all the way in the Champions League this season.
“I only care about Arsenal because they are in, Henry said. “So I’m going to go straight with the champion – The Arsenal. Bye, see you later.”
Mikel Arteta needs to make two changes for the second leg vs Bayern Munich
Despite the draw on Tuesday, we must say Arsenal were the better side.
We controlled the game for large parts, had our chances in the final third and it was only because of two very avoidable errors that Bayern even got on the score sheet.
Arsenal should be very confident going to the Allianz Arena and getting the job done, but for that to happen, we think Mikel Arteta must make two changes.
Jakub Kiwior has had a solid season, but the Pole struggled against Leroy Sane yesterday and was replaced at half-time. Oleksandr Zinchenko came in for him and had a good game, and we think he, or Takehiro Tomiyasu, should start in Munich.
The other change Arsenal should make is Thomas Partey for Jorginho in midfield. The Italian didn’t have a great game on Tuesday, and although Partey doesn’t look at his peak fitness level yet, he offers more.
Arsenal take on Bayern Munich in the second leg on Wednesday, 17th April, at the Allianz Arena.
