Henry uneasy about Gunners clash
Barcelona striker Thierry Henry is not relishing the prospect of playing against Arsenal in the Champions League. The Frenchman, who spent eight years at Arsenal, left the north London club in 2007. And while admitting he will give his all in the quarterfinal tie later this month, he says it will be strange playing against his former paymasters. "Whenever there is a draw for the Champions League I'm in pain," Henry told Sky Sports on Monday. "I'm not saying I won't try to fight or whatever because that's the way the game is. But I don't want to play against Arsenal.” Asked if he would celebrate a goal, he added: "Forget about it. The bond that I have with the Arsenal fans I will never get anywhere else. Because I don't think I will ever play for another team for that long.”
