After Real Madrid left Manchester City in the dust in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, Thierry Henry took a shot at unraveling the secret behind Los Blancos’ success. He offered his own, rather ironic, take on the matter.
Details: Discussing Real’s performance live on CBS Sports Golazo, Henry was full of praise, but wrapped up his analysis with a surprise confession:
"I don't know what they put in that jersey... But maybe if I put it on, it might help me get my hair back!"
Thierry Henry, known for his sharp sense of humor, used this quip to highlight Real Madrid’s almost supernatural ability to transform in the Champions League.
According to the Frenchman, the club’s jersey seems to possess a mystical power that grants players extraordinary abilities when it matters most.
It’s worth noting that the Real Madrid vs Manchester City match ended in a convincing 3-0 win for Los Blancos, with Federico Valverde bagging a hat-trick.
Reminder: Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola matched his worst ever Champions League knockout result.
