As reported by the Metro, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has labeled Cristiano Ronaldo as the best striker to ever grace the Uefa Champions League history. He was full of praise when talking about the player and the impact he has created in football’s greatest competition.
The legendary striker Thierry Henry has himself played at the highest level for Arsenal and knows every quality that a world-class striker should possess. Ronaldo has matched all those qualities and has been the competition’s highest goalscorer ever.
The French striker further said that Cristiano Ronaldo’s achievement has not been matched by anyone else which makes him special. He said:
“You have to give this guy a lot of credit, why? Because simply what he has done with the national team, what he’s doing right now for United. What he has been doing for Juve, Real Madrid, and United before, it is second to none if we’re talking about a No.9, you have to give him his respect.”
