Former Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has urged manager Hansi Flick to abandon high-line tactics if he wants the Catalan club to win the UEFA Champions League this season.
According to the Arsenal legend, Barcelona are getting exposed in the big games, and Flick needs to try a new tactic going forward.
The Frenchman spoke following Barcelona’s Champions League 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in mid-week.
Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry said (via Barca Blaugranes): “You can not play in the Champions League with that high line. I’m sorry.
“When you play against good teams, you are going to get exposed.
“And that is exactly what happened. Any well-timed run you go through on goal, every single time.
“They don’t want to change it, and I understand sometimes coaches can be stubborn, but it can be costly in big games.”
