“That’s Ronaldo’s goal,” he said. "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.”
The other pundits in the studio questioned whether Henry was being too harsh on Hernandez, who has not enjoyed the best time on loan at Real from Manchester United.
“It’s a tap-in,” he added. “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.”
After receiving criticism for his comments on Twitter, Henry added: "Football is a team game. Yes Hernandez scored the all-important goal but the work of cristiano made it possible. It cannot be underestimated.
"I love it when players celebrate and acknowledge the player that made the assist. The pass can be just as important as the goal."
What a complete knobhead, it was a massive goal in the context of the game to get to a semi final of the Champions league, and then saying he should have ran to Ronaldo. I am sure if it was the other way around, Ronaldo would have ran away to the corner and stood there pontificating about how amazing he is.
I agree the pass is just as important at times and you should acknowledge your team mates but to go on like he has is just pathetic IMO
