CBS Sports pundit Thierry Henry has urged Arsenal to focus on their Champions League triumph after they were already in the quarterfinals after thrashing PSV Eindhoven 7-1 on Wednesday.

The current season of the ‘Gunners’ can still hope for สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน success in two competitions. The Champions League, where the form of the first leg of the Round of 16 at the Philippe Stadion was outstanding. 

The other stage is the English Premier League, but it looks a bit tough. Because they are 13 points behind the leader, Liverpool, but with only 11 games left. The chance to catch up will be difficult even though they have played 1 less game. 

That’s why the former Gunners captain has advised head coach Mikel Arteta to prioritise the Champions League. Even if the path to the quarter-finals is a tough one between Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid. 

“Yes, they can go all the way, I believe so. That’s why I’m pushing for the Champions League,” said Arsenal’s all-time top goalscorer. 

“That’s why I say Arsenal can now repeat the performance from last night against strong opponents if the other main players gradually recover.”

“This is not to disrespect PSV. Who initially thought Arsenal would have a tough time. Especially away from home in the Champions League, but they made it look easy.”

“I think this is a standout game as everyone saw from the results.”

“As everyone knows, their race for the English Premier League title is almost over, unless something crazy happens.”

“The PSV game helped boost confidence in the Champions League, even if you face Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid next time.”

“Sometimes I think the path that is laid out to the final has some advantages and disadvantages. But if you aim to win this tournament. You have to get past teams of that level along the way.” 

Arsenal have never won the Champions League, their best finish was in the 2006 final where they lost to Barcelona, ​​with former manager Arsene Wenger’s side having Henry as their star man.
