After Capital One Cup, Thierry Henry Backs Chelsea To Win EPL, Champions League

Thierry Henry believes Chelsea have all the quality required to win the Champions League, the Premier League, and the Capital One Cup.

Chelsea defeated Tottenham 2-0 at Wembley on Sunday in the Capital One Cup final, and as they sit atop the Premier League table, it’s obviously the Champions League that presents Jose Mourinho’s side with the toughest obstacle.

The first leg of Chelsea’s round-of-16 clash versus Paris Saint-Germain ended in a 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes, and the reverse fixture goes next week at Stamford Bridge. And although Chelsea’s schedule will only get tougher the further they progress in the Champions League, Henry – who is now a pundit at Sky Sports – insists they can achieve European glory.

“I think they can,” said Henry when asked if Chelsea can win the treble this season. “They have all of the quality required to win the treble.

“I’m so eager to see that game against Paris Saint-Germain. That will be massive. If they beat PSG, you have to go through maybe Bayern Munich, then Real Madrid and Barcelona. Time will tell. But that PSG game will be a massive task for them.”

Those are some kind words from a player who scored a controversial free kick against Chelsea during the 2004-05 season.
