Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has revealed the two clubs the Gunners need to avoid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal reached the Champions League quarterfinals by defeating Porto on penalties.

They'll be in the draw with City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Paris Saint-Germain.

Gunners' icon Thierry Henry suggests facing City or Madrid would pose the greatest challenge for Arsenal.

Henry said on CBS Sports:

"I’ve been in both situations as a player where sometimes people didn’t want to play against us, and we didn’t go really far, and we had a team when we went to the final I don’t think was our best team at Arsenal.

"I’m just saying, you can never disrespect anyone in Europe.

There are two teams there who can be cocky – it’s Real Madrid and Man City, that’s about it.

"Man City are the team to beat still, for me. I know Pep, it’s not how he’s going to take it."
