Arsenal legendary striker Thiery Henry said his old club are contenders for the Champions League title after becoming the first team to score seven goals in an away match.
Before the round of 16 match against the Dutch side, Henry had doubted their credentials to reach the final due to the injury concerns facing the club, but after the big win Henry said: “Yes, they can. I do believe that, this is why I called it. I’m just saying now, show us that you can do that against a good team, with people that are coming back.
“No disrespect to Eindhoven, I really thought it was going to be difficult, especially away from home but they made it look easy. I think they had an outstanding game as you can see with the result.
“But, we all know that the (Premier) League is over. Apart if something crazy happens but what I’m trying to say is that this game can help maybe to be confident in this competition for the game that you have after this match, Real Madrid or Atletico.
“Sometimes I think the path to the final can at times help or not, but if you want to win the competition you have to go through these teams,” Henry said on CBS Sports Golazo
