Thierry Henry sur l’élimination de la France : «L’Espagne était largement supérieure. La meilleure équipe a gagné»
Thierry Henry made no excuses after France's elimination in the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup. A consultant for the American channel Fox Sports, the former French international praised Spain's performance, who won 2-0 on Tuesday, believing that La Roja fully deserved their qualification for the final.
According to the 1998 World Cup winner, the Spanish imposed their game from start to finish. "The Spanish controlled the ball and showed why they are European champions. They were far superior. The best team won," he analyzed.
Henry also stressed the importance of starting a match well against a team so dominant in ball control.
According to him, conceding the opening goal against Spain makes the task considerably more difficult. "If you're not in the game from the start, it's tough. Spain is the worst team you can be down 1-0 against," he explained.
Despite this disappointment, the former Arsenal striker believes that Les Bleus must learn from this defeat to come back stronger.
He now considers the Spanish national team to be France's main rival on the international stage and calls on Les Bleus to improve in order to overturn this new hierarchy.
