‘There’s no doubt’… Thierry Henry backs Barcelona to win La Liga this season | OneFootball

This season has been one of change and progress at FC Barcelona. With Hansi Flick coming in, the Catalan giants were set to undergo some major changes within the club. From their tactics to their habits, Barcelona ended up tweaking several things.

Ultimately, however, it turned out to be for the best. Already this season, Barcelona has showcased their ability to reach levels that they have not reached since quite a long time, and their goalscoring qualities in particular have been a major strength in this ongoing campaign.

With the kind of impact they are having both domestically and on the European stage, it is hardly a surprise to see foreign pundits and specialists taking notice. However, the recent words of a certain French icon are definitely worth taking note of.

Thierry Henry, a former superstar for both Arsenal and FC Barcelona, recently spoke about the Catalan club following their 4-1 victory over Sevilla. After that game, as highlighted by Mundo Deportivo, Henry shared his thoughts about Hansi Flick’s team, and suggested that they even play like champions:

“Barça plays with the spirit of a champion… They know when to attack, when to defend, and when to take control of the game. This is the Barcelona that everyone fears.”

Moreover, the French legend even went on to say that he believed that this Catalan side will end up winning La Liga as well despite currently being third:

“With this mentality, there’s no doubt Barça will be La Liga champions.”

Following their victory over Sevilla, and the favorable 1-1 draw in the Madrid derby, Barça are now within two points of the top spot in La Liga. While there is still a long way left to go in the season, Henry’s words surely carry weight and his belief in Barcelona clearly showcases his faith in their quality to perform in the big moments.
