"At a tight angle, the World Cup-winning star( Yea right) was through on goal and had the chance to shoot, or the better option, play the ball across the box to two of his
Inter teammates, his call to shoot straight at Ederson was slammed by Henry, who stated that ‘he now has to sleep on that one’, as he told
CBS Sports on Paramount+.
Inter fans had every right to be screaming at their TVs and shouting from the stands in anguish at that moment because, as Henry put it, Martinez decided ‘he had to score’ and ‘not Inter Milan had to score’.
Not long after, Rodri would write his name into the history books by becoming the first Man City player to score in a European Cup final and help
Pep Guardiola’s score secure the Treble.
It was heartbreak for Inter, who will still be feeling the hurt of last night’s defeat, with Henry sharing his thoughts on that very costly moment from Martinez.
“I will go back to the one with Lautaro Martinez, I am sorry, you have to cross,” said Henry. “Not only one time, two times, three times, four times and five times. The only solution you have is to cross. It would have been a different game, now he has to sleep with that one.
“Akanji let the ball go thinking the goalkeeper was going to get it – If Martinez recomposed himself and you really take your time to see Brozovic at the top of the box.
“Lukaku is with Ruben Dias, so it’s difficult to play him. If he kept his composure, then he would have seen Brozovic and it’s a tap-in. It is a tap-in.
But he decided he had to score and not Inter Milan had to score. You don’t always have to score, the team has to score. Pep (Guardiola) was on his knees praying.
