Thierry Henry Assesses Arsenal’s Champions League Title Hopes for This Season

The Gunners legend weighs in on whether Mikel Arteta’s side has what it takes to conquer Europe.

NewsOnline Nigeria reports Former France striker Thierry Henry has hailed Arsenal’s squad depth this season, saying it gives them a “big chance” of winning major trophies.

Henry made the comments on CBS Sports after the Gunners’ 2-0 victory over Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The win means Mikel Arteta’s side have now secured back-to-back victories in the competition.

Arsenal also cut the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to two points with a 2-1 win at Newcastle last weekend.

Henry told CBS Sports, “That’s what a team is about. During a season you need your bench to step up when it matters. When I say bail you out, it’s not really bail you out, it’s about having players who can come on, make a difference and change the game when called.

“That’s why I think Arsenal have a big chance to win trophies this year, because their bench can make the difference.”
