Henry said; "That’s Ronaldo’s goal. It’s a tap-in. Turn around and celebrate with Ronaldo. Even the camera knew – the camera is on Ronaldo for a reason."
The former Arsenal striker has been heavily criticised for the comments.
Thierry Henry is some man. Dishes out praise to big, elite stars - Ronaldo, Gerrard. Belittled a lesser player for enjoying his big moment. — John Brewin (@JohnBrewinESPN) April 23, 2015Henry himself decided to respond to the negative reaction with the series of tweets.
Football is a team game. Yes CH14_ scored the all important goal but the work of @cristiano made it possible. It cannot be underestimated.

I love it when players celebrate and acknowledge the player that made the assist. The pass can be just as important as the goal.
