Twitter is on fire as football fans across the world are arguing about two strikers; Arsenal and France legend, Thierry Henry and Chelsea and Ivory Coast legend, Didier Drogba.
Henry won six (6) trophies during his time at Arsenal before he moved on to Barcelona to win an additional seven (7) making a total of thirteen (13) trophies during the prime time of his career. During his era at both clubs, he scored a staggering 275 goals (226 for Arsenal and 49 for Barcelona) for both clubs.
On the other hand, Didier Drogba won fourteen (14) trophies during his two stints at West London side, Chelsea. He scored 164 goals for Chelsea during his two stints at the club.
In total, Thierry Henry scored a career total of 411 goals while Didier Drogba managed 362 goals for all clubs played and country.
The question now is, who was the better striker during his prime time. Was it Didier Drogba or Thierry Henry?
Friendly reminder that Thierry Henry had to bail from Arsenal to piggyback on Messi and Eto'o in order to win a champions league trophy while King Didier stayed back and dragged his team to the CL against peak Barça and Bayern.
Make of that what you will.

Drogba scored goals, Rooney scored goals but so did henry. That's the best they can do, Score and sometimes create. Drogba didn't drag shit, neither did Rooney or cr7. They were all just a piece in the puzzle for their teams. United team had cr7, tevez, scholes, Ferdinand, vidic

The fact that henry and arsenal team didn't win ucl doesn't make them shit. Henry and his arsenal teams won lots of trophies/finals including going unbeaten in 49 games, something drogba and Rooney and their teams could never achieve. Still doesn't make them failures.

There is nothing Drogba won that Henry did not win.
But there is a lot of things Henry won that Drogba did not win.
Greatness is what you achieved at the end of the day.
A lot of players could have played better than Henry but Henry remains greater than a lot of players.
