Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry has named Barcelona as the most difficult team to beat in the Champions League this season.
Henry also exposed Barcelona's major weakness in the Champions League this term.
The Frenchman spoke after Barcelona's 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-final first leg tie at Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Goals from Robert Lewandowski (2) and a goal each from Raphinha and Lamine Yamal gave the Catalan club the victory over the Bundesliga side.
Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry pinpointed that Barcelona tend to give their opponents too many opportunities to score because of their ‘high line’.
He also insisted that Hansi Flick's side are the favourite to win the Champions League this season.
“They are outstanding,” Henry said.
“De Jong and Pedri in midfield, it is outstanding what they are doing.
“At times, though, they leave too many opportunities for the opposition to score goals. Other than that, they are magnificent.
“[Previously] I said they were one of the favourites, if not the favourite, to win [the Champions League title].
“For me, they are a team that are very difficult to beat. They can stop a counter. But I still do think, with the high line, at times they can be a bit exposed.”
