French football legend Thierry Henry has identified one team he believes can prevent Real Madrid from winning the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid’s UCL Dominance
- Madrid has won six of the last ten UCL titles, cementing their reputation as Europe’s most successful club.
- They remain a different beast on European nights, regardless of their domestic form.
Barcelona as Madrid’s UCL Threat
Henry believes Barcelona is best positioned to challenge Madrid’s dominance this season.
- “Because of the two years they have played together and the tough season they endured last year, they have learned the most about their character,” Henry stated.
- The 2023/24 campaign saw Barça eliminated in the quarter-finals after a dramatic 6-4 loss to PSG.
- Under Hansi Flick, the Catalans have already reached the last 16, finishing second in the group stage.
