Henry played in 9 cup finals, scored 0 goals. Drogba played in 10 cup finals. Scored 10 goals.Henry was notoriously terrible in big games. You can't be "great" and not be clutch. You can't think of any player in any sport that isn't clutch but is great. pic.twitter.com/l3W5mstSc3— Jacques Mesrine (@Hustler_Futbol) May 20, 2019

Henry shamelessly joined Barca to piggyback off Messi and Eto'o to finally touch a CL trophy. His only goal in the 2008/09 QF, SF or Final was when Barca were up 3-0 vs Bayern in the QF. This grown man was reduced to leeching off their careers. "Can't beat them join them" pic.twitter.com/knRlXN2shu— Jacques Mesrine (@Hustler_Futbol) May 20, 2019
