Former France striker Thierry Henry has picked Arsenal as “the most solid team” in the Champions League.
However, Henry has also admitted that the Gunners’ biggest weakness could hinder them from lifting the trophy.
On Tuesday night, Mikel Arteta’s men beat Sporting 1-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, thanks to a late Kai Havertz goal.
David Raya’s excellent display in goal means Arsenal have conceded only five goals in 11 Champions League fixtures this season.
In the Premier League, they have also let in 22 goals in 31 matches.
“For me they are the most solid team in the Champions League,” Henry said on CBS Sport.
“We also know about the set-pieces – people are crying about that, but it’s a part of the game and a big advantage for Arsenal because they’re pretty good at it.
