Arsène Wenger wants Thierry Henry to win the Champions League this season but he predicts that an English side will scoop the trophy.
The French duo so nearly won the competition with Arsenal in 2006 but for Barcelona to snatch the silverware in the last 14 minutes of the Final. Ironically, Henry swapped Emirates Stadium for the Nou Camp last summer and, though neither club nor player have enjoyed a vintage season, they are one step from Moscow. Barcelona face Manchester United in the Semi-Final starting next week with Liverpool taking on Chelsea in the other.
"To me it will be an English team that wins the Champions League," said Wenger speaking before the weekend. "I wish that Thierry Henry wins it but Manchester United will be super-favourites against them.
"Barcelona haven't looked the side of two years ago. But Barcelona are Barcelona and so you never know. However even if they win they will have to play another English team in the Final."
