Arsenal icon and football pundit Thierry Henry has sent a thrilling message to Liverpool fans, boldly predicting a formidable European campaign for the Reds under incoming manager Arne Slot.
The legendary French striker, speaking on CBS Sports, expressed his belief that Liverpool's style under the Dutch coach could make them a serious contender for the coveted Champions League trophy next season.
'I think they can win the Champions League,' Henry declared, sending shockwaves through the football community. His comments come after Liverpool confirmed Slot as Jürgen Klopp's successor, ending weeks of speculation about the Anfield hotseat.
Henry's analysis focused on Slot's tactical philosophy, which he believes aligns perfectly with Liverpool's traditional high-pressing, attacking football. 'The way they play, the way he plays, it's very similar to what Liverpool were doing under Klopp,' he explained.
The former Barcelona star highlighted how Slot's Feyenoord team impressed in Europe, suggesting this experience will be invaluable when taking charge of a club with Liverpool's continental pedigree.
While acknowledging the challenge of following a club legend like Klopp, Henry believes the transition could be smoother than many anticipate due to the stylistic similarities between the two managers.
Liverpool fans will be buoyed by this endorsement from one of football's most respected voices as they look ahead to a new era under Slot's leadership.
