French pundit and Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has affirmed that his former club are the most solid team in Europe right now.
He made the assertion on Wednesday night on CBS Sports after the Gunners defeated Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, 3-1 in an UEFA Champions League (UCL) group game.
Goals from Jurrien Timber, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli ensured the English Premier League (EPL) leaders ended Vincent Kompany’s side’s unbeaten run at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking after the final whistle, Henry explained how Arsenal were able to beat a high-flying Bayern Munich team.

He went on to applaud their performance, noting it came after a significant win in the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Arsenal striker said: “They play, Arsenal, but they don’t overplay when they are in their own half. They tend to go long when they know that mistakes can happen, and it worked out.
”They scored on the counter-attack, and they actually scored on Bayern trying to overplay.
”I thought it was a good game from Arsenal: solid, especially after the weekend and with what is coming also this weekend.
”I would like to say they are the most solid team in Europe at the moment.”
