Thierry Henry expressed concern about the clash between Arsenal and Sporting, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The former London side striker acknowledged that the English team could face serious difficulties against the Lions.

Now working as a pundit, the former France international analysed the current situation of Mikel Arteta’s side and recalled the problems they recently experienced against Manchester City and Bournemouth. In that regard, he issued a clear warning about what Sporting may be able to exploit in the match.

“If you’re Sporting, you saw the way Manchester City played against Arsenal, and the way Bournemouth played against Arsenal at the weekend. You saw the way they put pressure on that 4x2x4 from the very first moment,” he began by saying on the programme 'Golazo', broadcast by the American television network CBS Sports.

The former player went further in his analysis and admitted that the 'Gunners' still have not managed to find solutions: “Arsenal had no answer for how to get around that. I don’t know what Sporting are going to do, but... it is very important for Arsenal to win the game. They have to make sure they can prepare themselves for the match we are all waiting for.”
