Thread: Why Didier Drogba was a better footballer than Thierry Henry. Only facts.

Henry played in 9 cup finals, scored 0 goals. Drogba played in 10 cup finals. Scored 10 goals.

Henry was notoriously terrible in big games. You can't be "great" and not be clutch. You can't think of any player in any sport that isn't clutch but is great.

2006 Champions League final. Arsenal up 1-0 vs Barca. Henry 1v1 with Valdes to seal the Champions League. Bottles it and costs his team

2012 Champions League final. Chelsea losing 1-0 to Bayern. 88th minute, Drogba makes it 1-1. Also scored winning penalty in shootout.

Henry shamelessly joined Barcelona to win a Champions League to piggyback off Eto'o and Messi. He was just a back up dancer. His only goal in the 2008/09 QF, SF or final was when Barca were up 3-0 vs Bayern in the QF. This grown man was reduced to leeching off their careers

In 2012, Drogba scored twice vs Valencia in group stages when Chelsea were gonna get kicked out group stages. Then scored crucial KO stage goals against Napoli, Barcelona and Bayern. He was 34 years old. At age 34 Henry was playing for New York Red Bulls.

At age 35. Drogba dominated Conte's Juventus in the CL. Big goals and assist to beat them with Galatasaray. One of the biggest nights in Galatasaray history. Before almost knocking out Madrid. At age 35, Henry was a pundit.

Best scoring season in the league:

Henry: 30 goals, 6 assists in 2003/04

Drogba: 29 goals, 10 assists in 2009/10

Drogba took a month off for AFCON midway

Champions League knockout stage goals:

Henry: 10

Drogba: 13

Henry played 13 seasons, Drogba played 12.

Drogba won a Champions League final with this team. Bertrand and Kalou as his wingers for service. He was 34 years of age. Henry failed to be the man to win a Champions League for a London club. He choked when it mattered and had to piggyback off a stacked Barca team to win it.

"Drogba wasn't complete, he was just a target man"
