Henry Warns Arteta on Trophies as Rice Faces UEFA Review
Thierry Henry has issued a warning to Arsenal's current coach, Mikel Arteta, about the necessity of winning trophies, especially as the team concludes the season without silverware. Arsenal is currently three points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League and is preparing for a crucial second leg semi-final against Atletico Madrid next Tuesday.
The last time Arsenal lifted a major trophy was in 2020 when they defeated Chelsea in the FA Cup final. Concurrently, Declan Rice is facing disciplinary action from UEFA due to comments made after Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid.
Rice criticized the referee's decisions during the match, suggesting that the atmosphere may have influenced officiating, particularly regarding a penalty call that was overturned by referee Danni Makkeli. UEFA will review Rice's remarks to determine if they question the integrity of match officiating.
Rice is expected to be available for the return leg at Emirates Stadium, provided he does not face sanctions.
