Legends from across the game turned out for the epic battle on Tuesday, which saw an Auxerre Legends side faces a Cisse’s All Stars XI in France.
The likes of Didier Drogba, Robert Pires, Claude Makelele and William Gallas all took part in the game.
While former Arsenal manager Wenger stepped back into the dugout as he took charge of the All Stars.
It didn’t go to plan though, with the Auxerre Legends triumphing 8-4 on the night.
But the All Stars opened the scoring with the goal of the game as Henry powered in a magnificent free-kick.
The Premier League legend stood over the ball alongside Pires and Drogba, with the Chelsea icon appearing most likely to take the shot.
But before he could run up to the ball, Henry cheekily stepped forward to jink the free-kick over the Auxerre wall and into the back of the net.
There were no hard feelings though as teammates celebrated with Henry.
