The former French soccer player, who defended the Barca shirt between 2007 and 2010, analyzed the match in the American CBS chain and was especially critical of Hansi Flick’s tactical proposal.
“You cannot play in Champions with that high defensive line. I’m sorry. When you play against good teams, you will be exposed. And that is exactly what happened tonight, ”said Henry, very forceful in his assessment.
The world champion with France put the focus on the fragility that Barça showed when the PSG managed to overcome the first pressure: “All races end up near the goal. Every time we mentioned it. They don’t want to change it”
Henry acknowledged that he understands the coherence lookingI understand that sometimes coaches can be third, we all have our game plan, but it can be expensive in important matches”
The reflection of the former French exemptedness comes at a time when Barça seeks to consolidate his identity in Europe. Flick’s team was able to dominate the PSG during the first half hour, but ended up yielding to Luis Enrique’s tactical adjustments and Parisian pressure in the second part
