French legend Michael Platini believes strongly that Arsenal´s Thierry Henry made a huge mistake not signing for FC Barcelona this summer.
The candidate for the UEFA presidency and France legend Platini claims that Henry has not won enough titles on Club level, especially on the European stage and therefore has not achieved the same category of other great football stars. Platini told British tabloid "The SUN" last weekend:

I sincerely believe he made a mistake in not signing for Barcelona. 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.
