Cristiano Ronaldo vs Thierry Henry 20 years on

Thierry Henry once wondered aloud whether Cristiano Ronaldo had it in him to reach greatness. The answer arrived on a Premier League pitch, and it didn't come in words. Ronaldo was 20 years old that day, and he put two past Arsenal to hand Manchester United the win.

When the celebration came, Ronaldo aimed a silencing motion straight at Henry. Two decades on, that night is still filed under historic.
