Newcastle United have become just the second English team in history to concede seven goals in a European Cup/Champions League match as they were crushed by Barcelona on Wednesday night.
After a ruthless performance, Barca will now meet Atletico Madrid in the next round where Henry believes their Spanish rivals stand almost no chance at surviving Hansi Flick’s side.
“What happened isn’t a win, it’s a global earthquake. It was a night that will go down in history.
“This is the real Barcelona… When they want to, they do everything. They are an incredible team. You watch them play and think: ‘Wow, they look so convincing!’ Then you see them at home, and it’s like… It’s like we have the Johan Cruyff Dream Team back!
“Newcastle completely collapsed under this offensive flow. Stopping Barcelona like this? It’s nearly impossible!
“This is the face of Barcelona under Hansi Flick. We will outscore them, no matter what happens. When a team lights up, it leaves nothing behind. Congratulations, Barcelona… Europe is starting to feel the danger.”
All six Premier League clubs that qualified for the Champions League this campaign reached the round of 16, but only Arsenal and Liverpool have progressed to the quarter-finals.
Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are favourites to win the competition this season but if Henry is right, the Spanish side may go all the way since 2015.
