Former Barcelona forward Thierry Henry believes that coach Hans-Dieter Flick’s approach of playing with a high defensive line in Champions League matches is flawed.

«You cannot play in the Champions League with such a high defensive line. When you play against top teams, sorry, but your defense will be breached.

And that is exactly what happened against PSG. We mention it every time, but they don’t want to change anything. Sometimes coaches can be stubborn in their decisions, but in big games, it can be very costly,» Henry said on CBS Sports.
