柏天尼：亨利不轉會巴塞是個錯誤
French legend Michael Platini believes Thierry Henry made a mistake in shunning a move to Barcelona.
The France international striker was tipped to join Barca in the close season, but opted to pen a long-term Arsenal deal.
The 29-year-old has now been with Arsenal since August 1999 and Platini does not believe he has won enough at club level.
Henry has won the World Cup and European championship with France, but is yet to taste UEFA Champions League glory with The Gunners.
Platini thinks Henry has not lifted enough silverware with the North Londoners and is unhappy he missed the chance to develop further with Barca.
"I sincerely believe he made a mistake in not signing for Barcelona," Platini told The Sun.
"I told him so and said the same to Barca president Joan Laporta. Henry would have grown a lot at Barcelona.
"Thierry Henry is a truly great player and is on the verge of over-taking me as a goalscorer for France.
"However, he hasn't achieved the same category of other great stars.
"Why? Because he lacks playing in a great team and winning titles with his club like he has done with France, where he has been European and world champion."
