Thierry Henry:
Defeat to Inter is in the Past, Time to Beat Real Madrid
Thierry Henry, former Barcelona striker, hopes the team can overcome Real Madrid in El Clasico after their loss to Inter Milan.
According to “Varzesh3,” Thierry Henry has arrived in Barcelona to witness the crucial El Clasico on Sunday at Montjuic Stadium against Real Madrid. On Saturday, he visited the official Barça store at Spotify Camp Nou, met with fans, and emotionally expressed his support for the team.
Henry spoke about Barcelona’s disappointment in the Champions League semi-final against Inter, which ended in a 3-3 draw: “I know it was a terrible day, but it doesn’t matter. The team has given us so much joy in that match and throughout the season. Now we must win this game. Visca Barça forever!”
He also recalled a memorable moment after the Inter match on CBS Sports, where he spoke live with Lamine Yamal and asked for his jersey. Yamal promised to give his jersey if Henry gave him one of his own, even an Arsenal shirt.
Thierry Henry, who has always expressed his love for Barcelona, reminded fans that his memories from his time at Barça are still alive—especially the two goals he scored in the historic 6-2 win over Real Madrid on May 2, 2009, at Santiago Bernabéu.
The conditions of that match bear a strong resemblance to the current situation of the two teams: At that time, Barcelona was leading by four points, and with that victory, they extended the gap to seven points, securing the title with four weeks remaining.
