Thierry Henry: Video of Arsenal icon humiliating Sergio Ramos is superb

Sergio Ramos might be one of the greatest defenders in modern football history, but that doesn’t mean that he’s immune to the odd humiliation.

Similarly to goalkeepers, it’s an occupational hazard of a professional defender that you will be left with egg on your face by an attacker every now and again no matter how talented you might be.

For example, Jerome Boateng might be a Champions League and World Cup winner, but Lionel Messi was still able to turn him into a meme by folding him in half with that goal at Camp Nou.

By the same token, for every time that Ramos managed to pocket Messi in El Clasico clashes, he was humiliated by the Barcelona icon about five times over.

However, despite Ramos having a long and complicated history with Messi – as well as other world-class forwards – over the years, it seems as though it was actually another footballing icon who proved to be his kryptonite.

A few years before Ramos was facing a prime Messi hoovering up Ballon d’Or trophies like they were going out of fashion, he had to deal with a certain Thierry Henry.

And not only would some football fans argue that Henry could be just as much of a handful as Messi in his prime, but Ramos wasn’t quite the fully-developed defending icon that he was in the mid-2010s when he faced off with the Arsenal legend.
