Who will win the Champions League?

Who will win the Ballon d'Or?

And what team does Real Madrid fear?

Questions were directed to former French star Thierry Henry, and his answers were exciting and fiery.

Henry told CBS Sports, "Liverpool will win the Champions League because they are stronger than Real Madrid."

The Champions League final will witness a fierce confrontation between Liverpool and Real Madrid, in the French capital, Paris, on May 28.

The former French international added, "The Champions League final will become more exciting, as it will witness another one-on-one confrontation between the two favorites... this year the Golden Ball award, namely Sadio Mane and Karim Benzema."

Henry did not mention Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, the Premier League's top scorer this season, as a possible candidate to win the world's highest individual award.

As for the Golden Ball winner, Henry is currently confident that his compatriot Karim Benzema will receive the award, after he scored 43 goals and 14 assists in all competitions this season.

Henry said - in comments reported by the Spanish newspaper "Marca" - "I still think that Benzema is progressing, but if Mane wins with Liverpool and they win the quartet (Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup), he is a very strong opponent, and that would be great for Africa. But my bet is still on Benzema."

Henry explained that "all European clubs are afraid of Real Madrid, and Madrid is afraid of Barcelona."

The French legend played 80 games for Barcelona, ​​scoring 35 goals between 2007 and 2010, so he understands well the historical conflict between the two clubs.

Henry did not explain the secret of "Real's fear of the Blaugrana", but his statements came weeks after a crushing victory for Barcelona, ​​​​which has suffered for a long time this season, with a clean four over Real Madrid, knowing that the latter won early the League title this season, and deservedly qualified for the Champions League final. .
