Henry responds to the saying, “Man City was better than Real Madrid”
Real Madrid qualified against Manchester City in a match, the second leg of the quarter-finals, in which the whites defended themselves heroically against Guardiola’s team.
Carlo Ancelotti understood that playing the British team face to face would mean ‘committing suicide’ against a rival with tremendous potential in his stadium. Real Madrid held on and ended up taking the victory on penalties.
Many have been those who, due to Real Madrid’s way of playing, defending well as the main argument, consider that Manchester City deserved to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals. A football legend like Thierry Henry, former Barcelona player and now France Olympic coach , defends Madrid and is clear that he was better than his rival.
“There is something called defending. You can also control the game by defending well . I know people will say that City was the best team, but defending is part of the game,” said the former French player in ‘Football Talk’ .
Thierry Henry also added about the victory of Carlo Ancelotti’s team against Pep Guardiola’s team: “Real Madrid defended very well. I think the best team, the one that defended well, passed.”
