Arsenal crashed out of the Champions League on Wednesday night as Bayern Munich advanced to the semi-finals on a 3-2 aggregate. Speaking about the match after the game on CBS, former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry explained what the Gunners are missing, which is more firepower up front.
When asked what Arsenal is missing, the Arsenal legend replied: “Putting the ball in the back of the net but today [vs Bayern] there wasn’t even a lot of chances to do that. I think the two goals [in the first leg] at home were soft. We all know if you make those mistakes in the Champions League you’re going to pay the price.
“Today wasn’t good enough I would say but there wasn’t much in the game. Both teams didn’t want to lose so they didn’t really go for it. There was a moment of a bad decision, not only from [Gabriel] Martinelli but [Takehiro] Tomiyasu also because he did not cover his center-back for the cross or close that line.
Henry added: “But you’ve asked me so many times, do I think Arsenal can win the Champions League? I say yes because I’m hoping and wishing. But if I take my Arsenal hat off, when we play three games a week, we struggle. I don’t think we’re equipped to play three games a week so maybe it can be a good thing for the Premier League.”
