Thierry Henry

Arsenal great Thierry Henry praised Real Madrid skipper Federico Valverde's hat-trick against Manchester City on Wednesday.

"Fede is the type of player who will adapt to any situation. He played right-back, holding midfielder, left-back, under the striker, centre-back. You have to give him a lot of credit," Henry said on CBS, before adding: "Fede was [French star Lilian] Thuram, [Dutch legend Dennis] Bergkamp, [French great Claude] Makelele. He was everybody today."
