Asked about the rumours linking him with a January exit (read more here), Barcelona forward and French international Thierry Henry (31) has said in an interview with the official club media that he's feeling good in Barcelona:
"I am happy at Barcelona and you can see that when everyone gets off the bench to celebrate when we score.
There's a very good atmosphere in the team. And this helps us to win games like the one that we have won against Shakhtar. I am very pleased for Leo because he is the best player in the world. We changed the tactics but the team had the same attitude and motivation. It is better to win with goals and quality play but sometimes you have to be able to win like this."
