🚨 Thierry Henry on the chaotic 5-4 thriller between PSG and Bayern, the controversial Dembélé penalty, and Michael Olise destroying Nuno Mendes:
“Listen, everyone wants to celebrate a 5-4 scoreline, but we have to be honest about how we got there. That penalty call on Alphonso Davies right before half-time is an absolute disgrace to the Champions League. It is never a handball in a million years. The referee basically handed PSG a parachute just when Bayern were suffocate them. You give a player like Ousmane Dembélé a free gift from the spot right at the whistle, and it completely manipulates the psychological state of the second half.
But putting the referee aside, the real story for me tonight was Michael Olise. I have watched Nuno Mendes completely pocket some of the greatest wingers in Europe over the last few years. He is an absolute machine. But tonight? Olise made him look like a lost academy boy. The directness, the trickery, the utter disrespect on that right wing, I don't think I have ever seen anyone do that to Nuno Mendes in his entire career. PSG might be taking a 5-4 lead to Germany, but if Olise plays like this in the second leg, Paris is in massive trouble.”
