Manchester City will find it "difficult" to overcome Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, according to former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry.

Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has claimed that it will be "difficult" for Manchester City to overcome Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The English club were paired with the French champions in Friday's last-eight draw, and Henry has said that PSG have the credentials to win the whole competition this season.

"It's a difficult draw for Man City. Paris Saint-Germain are a solid team and they've done very well over the past three years," Henry told Sky Sports News.

"They have been coming slowly but surely, and they're getting stronger and stronger. We are going to see Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] again in England, and I think PSG are going to edge it. It's a difficult draw for Man City. You need to stop PSG's whole team.

"It's going to be a very, very difficult one and who knows what can happen but they are a team that I think can win the Champions League."

PSG beat Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate in the round of 16, while Man City overcame Dynamo Kiev to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in their history.
