Thierry Henry reveals the one factor that could stop Barcelona winning the Champions League
Former Barcelona star Thierry Henry has been full of praise for Hansi Flick’s side after their performance against Dortmund in the Champions League.
The ex-striker says Barca are “outstanding” and clearly one of the favourites to lift the European Cup at the end of the season.
However, Henry also admits that he’s still worried about Flick’s infamous high line and thinks it could be a problem.
“They are outstanding. [Frenkie] de Jong and Pedri in midfield, it is outstanding what they are doing,” he told CBS Sports.
“At times, though, they leave too many opportunities for the opposition to score goals. Other than that, they are magnificent.
“[Previously] I said they were one of the favourites, if not the favourite, to win [the Champions League title].
“For me, they are a team that are very difficult to beat. They can stop a counter. But I still do think, with the high line, at times they can be a bit exposed.”
Barcelona did give up chances against Dortmund but managed to keep a clean sheet in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. Victory over Dortmund will bring a semi-final tie against Bayern or Inter which should offer the defence a stiffer test.
