Henry Reveals What Will Happen in Arsenal - Real Madrid, Emphatic: 'Better Not to Go'

Thierry Henry has been very clear about this match between Arsenal and Real Madrid

Real Madrid will face Arsenal tonight at the Emirates Stadium, a stage on which all eyes in the soccer world will be focused.

Carlo Ancelotti, aware of what his players are playing for, will seek to draw on hierarchy and experience.

"The key will be courage, personality... It means trying to do your best and being motivated. An important aspect is executing well the match we have prepared. We have in front of us an opponent that does many things well and a complete team: they press well up front, have a strong low block, and good transitions. We have a clear plan and we will try to execute it tomorrow. The team is physically well and tomorrow we can plan a match with intensity," expressed the Italian coach in a press conference.

Henry Knows It Clearly

However, beyond tactics and statements, Thierry Henry is very clear about what Arsenal players must do.

The legend of the Gunner team, who was in the only continental knockout between both clubs, has praised the white club on CBS Sports.

"Arsenal must face the match against Real Madrid believing you can win. If you arrive believing you can't beat Real Madrid, that they are better than you, have a better team, better squad... They have 15 Champions and we have none... You better not go to play. If you go to play against Real Madrid thinking let's see if you will pass, it's better not to go," indicated the Frenchman.

Additionally, Thierry Henry also used Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City as examples, teams that ended up yielding to the Merengues.

"I've seen Greece win the Euro and Leicester win the Premier League. You just have to believe. Are you going to achieve it? That's another thing. Look at how Atlético played them... More than well many times, and still, it wasn't enough. I've seen City play well against Madrid many times, and still, it wasn't enough. So if you're going to play against Real Madrid believing you can't beat them, stay home," added the Frenchman, whose words, as expected, have spread like wildfire on social media.
