Arsenal and Premier League legend Thierry Henry has opened up on his time with the Gunners and his biggest footballing regret.
Thierry Henry has opened up about the lingering regret from his time at Arsenal that still haunts him to this day.
Despite winning two Premier League titles and three FA Cups, Henry can't shake off the memory of his crucial miss in the 2006 Champions League final against Barcelona.
Thierry Henry has one big football regret
The France striker scored 228 goals in nearly 400 appearances, cementing his status as a Gunners legend, but scoring the winning goal in that final could have eclipsed everything else.
"I still have moments where I'm like, 'I didn't deliver for Arsenal to win a Champions League,'" Henry confessed on CBS Sports.
"The final – I had the opportunity to score. I didn't score. I wake up from it sometimes."
"You feel like you let your people down – yourself, your teammates, the fans.
"Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good moments in a career. But that does affect you, especially when you are 'the guy' of the team."
