Personal fave solo goal from Thierry Henry - Titi vs Real Madrid, 2006

When Arsenal arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium in February 2006, no English side had beaten Real Madrid at Bernabeu. Arsène Wenger’s young side overcame a crippling injury list to change all that.

Henry’s moment of magic arrived two minutes into the second half. Cesc Fabregas kicked things off, capitalising on a poor touch from Ronaldo and finding his French team-mate inside the centre circle. From that moment on it was all about Henry.

He held off the back-tracking Ronaldo and skipped past Alvaro Mejia and Guti before racing into the area and muscling past Sergio Ramos. Henry planted an angled shot past Iker Casillas and into the far corner of the net. It was stunning even by Henry’s high standards.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIERRY HENRY!  The greatest striker I’ve ever seen, and my favorite soccer player footballer of all time, hands down.  Only fitting that he shares his birthday with Dustin Pedroia.  Check this fuckin’ goal.  B-E-A-Youtiful. Long live #14.
