Henry warns against Euro complacency

Champions League
Real Madrid 0
Arsenal 1


THIERRY Henry has warned his team-mates to stay calm after Arsenal surprised Real Madrid in the second round on Tuesday night.
The French striker’s magical solo goal, two minutes after half-time, was enough to secure victory in the Bernabeu Stadium – the first English team to do so.
But, despite the elation, Henry warned there was work to do if Arsenal are to qualify for the quarter-finals.
He said: “We need to keep our feet on the ground and not get carried away with this result. We all know they are a great team and they can turn things around. As far as I am concerned we are not there yet.”
Henry ran with the ball from near the half-way line, evading three challenges, before firing past Iker Casillas.
It proved the only goal of an exciting contest and the teams’ first-ever competitive meeting.
Arsenal, unbeaten in Europe this season, might have been ahead inside the first two minutes had Casillas not palmed away Jose Reyes’ angled drive.
Henry bounced a header wide and swung a wild free-kick over the bar.
The best chances for Real fell to David Beckham but the England captain was twice frustrated by Jens Lehmann.
In the second half, Freddie Ljungberg dragged a shot wide while Raul flicked a header over the bar. There was a nervous moment late on when Zinedine Zidane swung at a swerving cross but the ball was beyond him.
The two teams meet at Highbury on March 8.
