Thierry Henry Selects His Favorite For The UCL Trophy

Although Thierry Henry acknowledged that the competition is still quite open, he thinks Liverpool is the favorite to win the Champions League because of their “consistency.”

Following their easy 2-0 victory against Newcastle in the middle of the week, which put them 13 points ahead of Arsenal in second place, Liverpool already has one hand on the Premier League championship. And when the Reds play Newcastle again next month, this time in the Carabao Cup final, they will have a chance to win their first trophy under Arne Slot.

The Reds’ dominating performances carried over to the continent, where they won seven of their eight games to finish first in the Champions League league phase.

However, Liverpool was handed a difficult last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain, who easily advanced through the playoff round with a 10-0 aggregate victory against fellow French team Brest, even though they finished first in the league.

Despite their challenging draw, Henry thinks the Premier League leaders should be regarded as the club most likely to win the cup when Liverpool travels to Paris for the first leg next week.

‘It’s open. Apart from Liverpool who you can say have been consistent in the league and Champions League,’ the former Arsenal and Barcelona forward told Goal.
