Arsenal great Thierry Henry was baffled by Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne being named man of the match.

Henry insists the fellow goalscorer Vinicius Jr deserved the award after the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal finished 1-1.

He said, "Obviously this is why there is a difference between ex-players and I don't know who voted.

"It is true. It's a different game. I love Kevin, amazing goal. [But] you're telling me it's not Vinicius Jnr who won that? Come on..."

Henry also said: "Vinicius Jnr played in his position and we all know what he can do, and he did it.

"But (Eduard) Camavinga... Camavinga never played left-back in his life. He's [been] doing it now for two months, he's coming in midfield, one-twos, defending. He looks strong.

"But the big man [Vinicius] will grab the headline and I think he played better, so I will give it to Vinicius Jnr but I think Camavinga had an outstanding game."
