‘I nearly cried’ - Thierry Henry reveals why his goal against Leeds on his Arsenal return in 2012 was the best of his career
Despite all the wonder goals he scored during his successful career, Thierry Henry has ranked the FA Cup strike against Leeds in 2012 as the one that gives him the most joy
His fractious relationship with Rojiblancos manager Diego Simeone enforced these sojourns, and with a growing sense that the relationship can no longer be remedied, a permanent move away is in the offing.
What Felix said
The 24-year-old reportedly took a significant pay cut to sign for the Blaugrana this summer, as his initial wages made inscription impossible due to the Catalan club's dire financial situation.
His start to his loan career has gone well, as he has scored three times and assisted twice. This has sparked conversations about the possibility of Barcelona doing a deal with Atletico Madrid to acquire him permanently.
The player himself is enjoying his time at the club, saying he is feeling good and confident.
“As you can see, I am happy where I am—in Barcelona. I feel good and confident. And I feel that I am going through a good time,” he said, per Fabrizio Romano.
Atletico Madrid signed Felix from Benfica in the summer of 2018 for a reported £120 million.
They will be expected to demand close to this figure for the Portuguese, with his contract with the club lasting until 2029. The Blaugrana are expected to find this figure difficult to match, as their financial difficulties seem far from over.
