Legendary Thierry Henry admits his former club Arsenal has not yet reached the same level as PSG.
Henry praised PSG.
After PSG secured their place in this season's Champions League final, Henry warned Arsenal about the strength of the Ligue 1 side. The former French striker suggested that Mikel Arteta's team needs to remain humble and prepare themselves for the ultimate challenge ahead.
“Arsenal are not yet at the same level as PSG, so we need to be humble. I am very happy that the team reached the final, but PSG are truly an outstanding team,” Henry shared.
According to the legend born in 1977, Arsenal have made great strides in recent years, consistently competing for the Premier League title, something the club hasn't achieved since 2004. However, he emphasized that PSG have a significant advantage, particularly their experience in conquering the Champions League.

Henry praised Arsenal's unbeaten run in European competitions this season, attributing much of the credit to their solid defense. However, the former star believes PSG is a well-rounded team capable of defeating opponents in various ways.
"PSG can destroy you with their goal-scoring ability, but they are also capable of shutting down opponents. Against Bayern Munich, they showed a completely different style of play but still achieved maximum effectiveness," the former French star commented.
During his illustrious playing career, Henry never helped Arsenal win the Champions League and is eager to see the current generation complete what he left unfinished.
"I'm usually not too nervous before big games, but this time it might be different. Arsenal have a chance to do something I've never been able to do with the club," Henry concluded.
