Barca Can’t Win Champions League With Shaky Defence


Former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry says it will be difficult for Barceloma to win the Champions League with a shaky defence.

Recall that Barca were forced to come from behind on three occasions to salvage a 3-3 draw against Club Brugge on Wednesday evening and the result has left the Catalan side 11th in the Champions League table and outside of an automatic place in the last-16 stage with four games remaining.

Speaking with CBS Sports, Henry has revealed that the club will not win the Champions League if they continue their defensive woes.

“The co-ordination (in defence) is so bad. You can’t win the Champions League like this, it’s very difficult.

“It’s this game (against Club Brugge), it’s against Paris Saint-Germain, last year it was against Benfica, then it was the Clasico, then it was Inter.

“As we all know, I played for Arsenal, I played for Juve, I won a lot of stuff at Barcelona, for me to say that… it pains me to say that because I don’t want to talk about my old club like that.

“But you have to call a spade a spade. You can’t carry on defending like this. Every time hoping to score three or four, to be the team, not now, not in the modern era of football, you can’t defend like that.”
