Thierry Henry, the iconic French footballer, has identified one Premier League club as a strong contender to clinch the UEFA Champions League title.
According to Thierry Henry, the Arsenal legend, the Gunners’ extensive and talented roster this season significantly boosts their chances of securing major trophies.
Henry shared his insights during an interview with CBS Sports, following Arsenal’s convincing 2-0 victory over Olympiacos in their second Champions League group stage match on Wednesday evening.

This European triumph came shortly after a vital 2-1 Premier League victory against Newcastle United last weekend, propelling Mikel Arteta‘s squad to just two points behind the league leaders, Liverpool.
Is Arsenal poised to claim both the UCL and EPL titles this season?
Henry emphasized that Arsenal’s strength lies in the exceptional quality of their substitutes, which he views as a crucial factor in their campaign.
“The essence of a successful team is having a bench that can step up when needed,” Henry remarked during his CBS Sports interview.
“When I say ‘step up,’ I don’t mean just to hold the fort. Think of players like Goncalo Ramos, who transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for a hefty fee; they come on and actively influence the game’s outcome.”
He wrapped up by expressing confidence in Arsenal’s potential, attributing it largely to their squad depth.
“This depth is precisely why I believe Arsenal have a strong shot at winning trophies this season-the bench players can truly turn matches around.”
