Thierry Henry, the former Barcelona star, expressed his opinion that Real Madrid appears to be ‘intimidated’ by their historic rivals, Barcelona.
This observation follows the recent dominant performance of Hansi Flick’s team over the reigning Spanish champions during the first El Clásico of the season.
Barcelona’s visit to the Santiago Bernabéu for a crucial top-of-the-table clash culminated in an impressive 4-0 win, leaving a significant impact on Spanish football.
Perceived by many as an indicator of a potential change in the hierarchy of the league, Henry, expressing confidence in the impact of the recent game on Real Madrid’s mentality, shared his perspective on the power dynamics within La Liga during a post-match interview:
“European teams fear Real Madrid, and now Real Madrid fear Barca.”
Despite having made similar statements in the past, Henry believed the current moment warranted a reaffirmation of this viewpoint.
