Champions League: Thierry Henry sets Real Madrid and its fans straight

Real Madrid

On Wednesday night, Real Madrid and their supporters vented their anger at the referee of the Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Bayern, Mr. Vincic. Thierry Henry has a message for the Madrid faithful.

The red card shown to Eduardo Camavinga against Bayern last night is still a hot topic in Madrid. However, according to Thierry Henry, the main culprits in this situation are the Merengues themselves.

🚨 Thierry Henry on Arda Güler sparking a remontada vs Bayern Munich:

🗣️ Henry: “This is what big nights are about. Arda Güler is not just playing — he’s taking responsibility. Two goals already, and that free-kick… that’s world-class, no question.”

"Real Madrid fans are going to flood social media, complaining about the refereeing. They'll say the second yellow card for Camavinga was a disgrace, that it was too harsh for a Champions League quarterfinal, and that the referees were biased against them. But you have to understand one thing: when you play away at the Allianz Arena, you don't give the referee any reason to make a decision. You have to be smarter than that," said the French legend on CBS.
