Henry blasts Chicharito for wild Champions League goal celebration

Former Barcelona striker Thierry Henry criticised Javier Hernandez for his wild celebration after the Real Madrid striker scored the goal which sent his team through to the Champions League semi-finals.

In the 88th minute Chicharito turned home a Cristiano Ronaldo pass and ran off in ecstasy. 

But Henry wasn't impressed, saying on Sky: "That's Ronaldo's goal. At that particular moment he couldn't shoot, so he didn't take the risk of doing something stupid and silly with it.

"He saw a guy in a better position, which Chicharito was, and he gave him the ball. What I don't like is Chicharito seems like he's won the World Cup with that.

"It's a tap-in. Turn around and celebrate with Ronaldo. Even the camera knew. The camera is on Ronaldo for a reason.

"I think the pressure went through him. He knew he had to perform today and he had a couple of chances to do it.

"If Ronaldo had done that I would have said the same thing. You have to pass the ball, but it's still a tap-in and you have to turn around and say thank you.

"I don't know about his future there. To be fair to him he doesn't usually play. Tonight was his opportunity and we don't even know if he's going to play after that."
