Watch Thierry Henry react to Arsenal drawing Bayern Munich in the Champions League

Thierry Henry could not hide his surprise after Arsenal drew Bayern Munich again in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The former Arsenal striker was in the Sky Sports News HQ studio covering the draw for the knockout phase of Europe's premier club competition.

Arsene Wenger's side had been hoping for a more favourable pairing after finishing top of their Champions League group ahead of second-placed Paris Saint-Germain.

However, not for the first since under the Frenchman's management, Arsenal were handed a tricky draw after being paired alongside the Bundesliga champions.

And the measure of the task facing Wenger can be gauged by looking at just how Henry reacts to the news in the above video.

"If you want to win it you have to play against one of those [big] teams," he later said on SSN HQ. "I had a feeling they'd play Real or Bayern because it seems like that's the way it is.

"I remember the year we drew Real Madrid on the way to the final and people said it was over for Arsenal.
