The Gunners take on Barcelona at the Emirates in the Champions League on Tuesday, and the former striker has backed Arsene Wenger’s men to come out on top
Thierry Henry has backed Arsenal to beat Barcelona after being pictured with his former Camp Nou team-mates on Monday.
The former striker caught up with Lionel Messi & Co. at the Emirates Stadium as they trained ahead of their clash with the Gunners in the Champions League.
Arsenal fans were not best pleased with the pictures, but Henry has now thrown his weight behind the Gunners as they bid to become the first team since Sevilla in October to beat the Catalan giants.
“It was nice to see the boys from my old club Barcelona yesterday but it’s time to step up and make history tonight Arsenal,” he wrote on Twitter.
Barca are currently top of La Liga and have lost just twice all season, with Luis Enrique’s men sitting eight points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid.
The Gunners, meanwhile, sit third in the Premier League, level on points with London rivals Tottenham and two behind leaders Leicester City.
