Thierry Henry aimed a cheeky dig at Tottenham while accepting Lionel Messi’s award at FIFA Best Awards last night.
The Frenchman is one of Arsenal’s best-ever players and enjoyed the rivalry they shared with Spurs.
Henry was constantly a thorn in Spurs’ side as a player and delivered some of his best performances against them.
Arsenal is the more successful of the North London clubs, as Tottenham has not won a trophy in almost two decades.
The Lilywhites hope that changes under Ange Postecoglou, but while they wait, Henry could not miss a chance to aim a dig at them.
The former striker hosted the awards with Tottenham-supporting Reshmin Chowdhury. When Messi was named the best player, Henry accepted the award and said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘Someone is going to have to take the trophy.
‘I actually have two reasons for taking it.
‘I never won it, so i’ll keep it.’
He then turned to Chowdhury and said: ‘You are a Tottenham fan right?’, which his co-host confirmed.
‘That’s the other reason, as you do not usually get your hands on a trophy, so i’ll take this one’.

Thierry, the gift that keeps on giving!
I ask in what way is Thierry’s dig at Tottenham Hs going to help Arsenal win the Epl title or that of the Ucl or both this seaso?
Any Arsenal legend may take a dig at Tottenham if he wants to do. But the best and the most important dig I think is, what us Arsenal SHOULD be digging at this season especially Arteta and his Gunners team. Is how us are going to recover from the setback that we’ve had in the Epl before the winter break. And forsake the setback to return to the winning wysiwyg again. And be winning consistently to reach the momentum of mounting a very serious challenge that will not fail but be successfully to win the Epl title this season.
