Thierry Henry believes Manchester City must stop every Paris Saint-Germain player in order to progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Citys maiden last-eight appearance in the competition has them up against Laurent Blancs side, who saw off Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate in the last 16 stage.Henry believes PSG are a side who have improved year on year and have a genuine chance of winning the Champions League, but has not ruled out Manchester City causing a surprise if they are on top form. Henry on Arsenal title hopes Thierry Henry calls for unity as Arsenal look to end 12-year title drought Speaking on Sky Sports News HQ, Henry said: Its a difficult draw for Man City. Paris Saint-Germain are a solid team and theyve done very well over the past three years.They have been coming slowly but surely, and theyre getting stronger and stronger. We are going to see Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] again in England, and I think PSG are going to edge it. Its a difficult draw for Man City. You need to stop PSGs whole team. Manchester City players celebrate after sealing a 3-1 aggregate win over Dynamo Kiev Its 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.If you look at the game against Chelsea, Zlatan got the praise and rightly so because he is the guy that makes that team win.But look at how Thiago Motta played in midfield, how he breaks play and passes that first ball for the two goals, how solid they are at the back, they have a good goalkeeper, and Blaise Matuidi can run for everybody. City have been slipping in the Premier League Then you have Angel Di Maria, who is allowed to play wherever he wants within their structure. So you have your usual suspects like Zlatan, but they have a hell of a team.Manchester City overcame Dynamo Kiev 3-1 on aggregate in the last 16, but are faltering in the Premier League and have fallen 12 points behind leaders Leicester in the title race albeit with a game in hand. However, Sky Sports pundit Henry believes City are a different outfit in Europe, and is looking towards David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure to produce something special in Paris and at the Etihad Stadium in April.You saw a totally different Man City in the Champions League than you saw in the league, and they can raise their game to this type of occasion, he added. City are a different outfit in the Champions League, says Henry Those nights are special and you need the likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero to turn up, especially against PSG.Man City might not have a lot of the ball, and we know they love to have the ball. They may be struggling with injuries too because Vincent Kompany seems like it could be a long [absence].You need everybody involved and on their game on the night to beat PSG.

Pittsburgh has won six in a row and 11 of its last 12 games to open a big lead atop the Metropolitan Division. With 53 points, the Penguins are 12 points ahead of Washington for the divisions top spot and Pittsburgh also is five points in front of Boston for the Eastern Conference lead. Despite battling a rash of injuries, the Pens posted their two most recent wins on back-to-back nights, beating the New York Rangers on the road in a 4-3 shootout on Wednesday before downing the visiting Minnesota Wild by a 5-2 score on Thursday. The decisive victory over the Wild was the ninth straight win on home ice for the Pens, who are off to a stellar 16-3-0 mark as the host this season. If history is any indication, Pittsburgh has a good chance to make it 10 straight home wins this afternoon. The Pens are 12-1-0 with two ties in their last 15 home games against the Flames, and Calgary has lost eight of 10 overall in this series. Pittsburgh is currently dealing with injuries to star forward Evgeni Malkin and defensemen Kris Letang, Paul Martin, Brooks Orpik and Rob Scuderi. With their top-four blueliners out of the lineup on Thursday, rookie defenseman Olli Maatta took charge in the win over Minnesota. Maatta scored a key short-handed goal on a penalty shot and collected one assist, helping the Penguins post a 5-2 decision over the Wild. A first-round pick (22nd overall) in the 2012 draft, the 19-year-old Maatta has three goals and eight assists in 37 games this season. The Finnish prospect has done most of his damage recently, notching seven points (2 goals, 5 asssists) over his last 10 outings.dddddddddddd Maatta became only the second defenseman in Penguins history to score on a penalty shot after he was hooked on a breakaway by Minnesotas Jonas Brodin at 7:54 of the third period. He came in wide from the right side and snapped a wrister that trickled across the goal line to give Pittsburgh a 5-2 lead. "Ive tried that move in practice a few times. Its the only move I have," Maatta said. "I thought (Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom) got it at first. Then I saw it go in so I was pretty excited." Chris Kunitz had two goals for the Penguins, while Jeff Zatkoff made 24 saves for the win. Malkin is questionable for todays game, while Letang, Martin, Orpik and Scuderi are out. While Pittsburgh aims for its 10th straight home win on Saturday, the Flames will try to halt a three-game road slide. Calgary began a five-game road trip with last Saturdays overtime win in Buffalo, but Bob Hartleys club has gone 0-1-2 since. The Flames played Thursday evening in Detroit and was dealt a 3-2 overtime loss by the Red Wings, who won after Daniel Alfredsson scored his second goal of the game just 63 seconds into the extra session. Detroit got a power play when Calgary defenseman TJ Brodie was whistled for hooking with 42 seconds left in regulation. On the ensuing power play, Pavel Datsyuk fed Alfredsson for a one-timer in the slot and the veteran ripped the shot past Karri Ramo. Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano both scored for Calgary. Ramo stopped 35 shots in defeat. After closing its road trip on Saturday, Calgary will play its next five games at the Saddledome, beginning with Mondays game against St. Louis. The Flames are 7-9-3 as the guest this season and 6-7-3 at home. ' ' '
