Arsenal were not good enough to progress to the Champions League semi finals.That is the view of club legend and former striker Thierry Henry, who spoke as a pundit on CBS Sports.
Henry felt that Arsenal lacked cutting edge in their second leg against Bayern Munich, which they lost 1-0 to go out 3-2 on aggregate.
He CBS Sports: Putting the ball in the back of the net but today, there wasn’t even a lot of chances to do that.
I think the two goals [in the first leg] at home were soft. We all know if you make those mistakes in the Champions League you’re going to pay the price.
Today wasn’t good enough I would say but there wasn’t much in the game. Both teams didn’t want to lose so they didn’t really go for it.
There was a moment of bad decision, not only from Martinelli but [Takehiro] Tomiyasu also, because he did not cover his center-back for the cross or close that line.
But you’ve asked me so many times, do I think Arsenal can win the Champions League? I say yes because I’m hoping and wishing,” Henry added.”But if I take my Arsenal hat off, when we play three games a week, we struggle.
I don’t think we’re equipped to play three games a week so maybe it can be a good thing for the Premier League.”
