Thierry Henry playfully feigned a walkout during an interview with ex-Arsenal teammate Robert Pires on CBS Sports.

The incident occurred as the pair were discussing Arsenal's upcoming Champions League clash with Real Madrid, but Pires' welcome from Henry was initially less than warm.

The spotlight at the Emirates Stadium was on Declan Rice's brilliant brace of free-kicks and Mikel Merino's slick goal. However, before the match began, Pires joined Henry to look back on their glory days with Arsenal.

The nostalgic chat took a humorous turn when presenter Anita Jones brought up the notorious failed penalty attempt involving both players against Manchester City in 2005, which was meant to be a pass from Pires to Henry.

Henry couldn't help but react theatrically to the memory, exclaiming "Wait, I'm going to leave you alone because he messed it up" before exiting the shot.

This prompted a mix of surprise and laughter from Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, who were tuning in from the studio, reports the Mirror.

Reflecting on the infamous failed penalty, Pires owned up to his error with a candid admission: "Errr, it was my fault. It was my mistake, yeah. I don't know what happened to my mind," before Henry reappeared, remarking: "The penalty had to be retaken."

Pires agreed, saying: "Exactly. The referee, he didn't know about these rules. So I know, I repeat, it was my mistake."

When Carragher pressed further, asking: "Thierry, whose idea was it originally in training to come up with the penalty?" Pires revealed: "It was Thierry's idea."

To which Henry asserted confidently: "You know, I'm a thinker, I study the game. I know these things it's going to have to be me. I didn't make the mistake."

Pires reiterated his accountability: "It's my fault, it's my fault, Jamie."

Carragher couldn't resist teasing them both with a light-hearted jibe: "It's always somebody else's fault with Thierry, Robert, we've learnt that over the years!".

Despite their initial banter in that moment, the mood shifted as Henry paid sincere homage to his former teammate Pires, who boasts a record of 84 goals and 63 assists from 284 appearances for Arsenal during six successful years, including being an integral member of the famed Invincibles team.

Henry said with admiration: "Joking aside, I need to say something about this man," lauding Pires's exceptional talent. "We've been joking and laughing but this man was a special player. Playing alongside him at Arsenal and the national team was brilliant.

"There's one thing that you guys know, in training if you are with Robert Pires you will never lose a game. The application that he had every time in training and the technique that he had, Robert could still play football now only the field is a bit too big."
