Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are by far my favorite living football legends, they are the reason I fell in love with football in the first place, they are part of my childhood... Henry should have won at least one or two ballon d'or in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, he was so unique and underrated back then, he was almost unstoppable and genuinely a very good all-rounder authentic player. ☯️✌️
It seemed like it felt kind of anti climactic to him to finally win the champions league trophy. As he alluded to, it's probably because it was not with Arsenal. He would have been so much more buzzing than this if he'd won in 2006 final
He Loves Arsenal as a fan to this day, but he was clearly so happy to win that treble with Barca under Pep. This was the first season of the greatest team to ever play football

You can tell he is Arsenal through and through despite playing for Barca. He needed to go there to win the champions league. Tbh 2006 was our only chance after that we went downhill fast and Henry could see the writing was on the wall under Wenger.
I must say those 2008-09 years were incredible for every little child in Spain that supported Barcelona. We grew up thinking that we had superpowers to make our teams win. We thought we would come to win every single trophy from there on...

Henry is a through and through absolute pure legend as an Arsenal Gunner! Winning the World Cup with France and winning the Champions League with Barca he is just part of a collection of top-shelf talent, that possibly could have done it without him, but with Arsenal Henry was King!
Always a legend for football, not just any 1 club or France. I’m an Arsenal fan and grew up watching this man and only have love and adoration for a legendary player and lover of the sport.
You can see Henry is more like 'job done' here than over the moon at finally winning the CL when he was pushing 32. Someone like Gerard probably saw this interview and thought 'Yeah, not much point in winnning everything under the sun if it's not going to be at Liverpool. Glad I didn't give in to the pressure.'
He was always my fav striker as as a Real Madrid fan I always wanted Florentino to signed him , when he did for Barcelona I knew we were in trouble ….. still a big fan of this guy
You can tell the trophies he won at Barca didn’t mean much to him. Ofc you take it but he doesn’t seem bothered. That Arsenal defeat in 06 final will always hurt Henry for the rest of his life. Despite being at Barca he’s still showing Arsenal love I rate it.
BS for me. He thought he didn't play well and missed some chances like he has said previously it haunts him. Look what he said afterward you will understand. Wishful thinking can be dangerous for a human being
Nah that's nonsense titi always says that he appreciates that team and the trophies they've won together titi said that his favorite clubs were arsenal and barça he's happy that barça won the sextuplet even though he loves arsenal that doesn't change his love for barcelona "If you don't love barcelona, you don't love football" these words alone prove that this journey meant a lot to him
'The first treble' tells you all you need to know when it comes to how good Barcelona were throughout their peak with many of the best players of all time in them.
That first treble was so special that Pep needed the help of the referees to even reach the final vs United. Barca and Pep should have been knocked out vs Chelsea in the semis but UEFA had other plans obviously. Pep owes his entire legacy to the referees and to UEFA.
Always felt like this was bittersweet for him. To be there at the top but not able to do it with Arsenal because the club was more focusing on stadiums and the future.
Dont talk too much Henry. Whole world knows how Barcelona beat Chelsea in the semi final second leg at Stamford bridge that season. How many clear penalty calls were denied. Cmon now.
He didn't do much though.. it was Eto'o who did most things as a striker.. so much so that next season, they brought in ibra and put bojan in the wing instead of Henry.. very good in the premier league but average with Barcelona
Your comment is 💯 spot on. As Arsenalfan that will always frustrate me. Far worse teams have won UCL but to not win it with Henry, Viera & Pires etc will always haunt me. The fact that invicibles couldn’t win that is something I can never get over. Even Liverpool with Gerrard won it and that year they came 5th in the PL.
That 2009 Final had all the best players at their peak; Messi, Ronaldo, Henry, Et'o, Xavi, Iniesta, Rooney, Ferdinand, Puyol, Pique, Yaya Toure, Tevez, etc
