Thierry Henry: Arsenal Legend Fires Warning to Psg About Lionel Messi Transfer

• Thierry Henry believes Lionel Messi's inclusion with Paris Saint-Germain will not make them formidable
• The former Barcelona star claims the French giants are not yet balanced because of their vulnerability in defence
• Henry and Messi both won the Champions League in the 2008-09 season, a season after he left Arsenal for Camp Nou

Thierry Henry has stated that Lionel Messi's famous transfer to Paris Saint-Germain will not necessarily solve the club's problems.

The 34-year-old looks to be the solution to PSG's Champions League jinx but Henry who won the competition alongside Messi at Barcelona thinks otherwise.

Despite having the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi, Henry still believes having a lot of superstars in the team will not give the team balance.

Henry was quoted by Daily Mail:

"Balance is the most important. At one point, we always talk about great players, attacking, going forward, but we need a balance.

"We are talking about the team in which I played at Barca, but people forget to point out that we weren't conceding a lot of goals.

"In general, teams that don't concede a lot of goals are not far from the title, or even from the Champions League.

"When you have superhuman players, it gets a little easier but when I see how Paris is evolving at the moment, they concede too many goals for my taste to be able to go a little further.

"It is true that there was a lack of players but the balance is the most important."

PSG conceded one goal in their first game against Troyes and two in their 4-2 win over Strasbourg in the past weekend.

Following Messi’s move to PSG, there has been debate on whether the French giants now have the most potent attack in club football.

Messi is yet to feature for his new club although he is expected to make his debut on August 29 when PSG play Reims in a league match.
