Every so often, football clubs post tweets looking back at past wins or major transfers.
Today, Arsenal’s social media team posted a throwback picture of Thierry Henry’s goal celebration against Real Madrid.
The Gunners became the first English team to win at the Bernabeu thanks to the Frenchman’s strike in the first leg of their last-16 clash in the Champions League.
The win was made even more dramatic as Henry found the goal in the 93rd minute of the encounter against the star-studded Galacticos.

The retired striker is a well-loved figure at Arsenal as he helped the team win two Premier League titles, three FA Cups and scored 228 goals during an eight-year spell at the North London club.
Fastforward 12 years from that match against Real Madrid, and Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal team are now competing in the Europa League having failed to finish in the top four last season.
Fan reacting to the Twitter post expressed sadness that the glory days are far behind them.
