Lionel Messi has revaled he “ didn't dare look Thierry Henry in the face ” when the Frenchman arrived at Barcelona 

Henry left Arsenal for Barcelona in 2007 having won two Premier League titles and was extensively considered to be one of the stylish players in the world at the time.
Messi would come the topmost football of all time, but at that point was at the launch of his career.

The Argentinian had been taken under Ronaldinho’s sect at the Nou Camp but told L’Equipe that he was fully star struck by Henry.
The first day he entered the dressing room, I didn't dare to look him in the face, ” Messi said.

“I knew everything he would done in England. I had an image of him made and suddenly we were on the same team. What I feel for Titi may be a form of admiration.
I loved Henry. The ease of finishing an action, how he takes the road to the thing and ends the play. He gives the print that it's natural. His career, his dribbling, the last gesture. It's fluid, commensurable. 

Henry top scored for Barcelona in his debut season with 19 pretensions, while Messi scored 16 in what would be Frank Rijkaard’s final time at the Nou Camp.
His Argentina side are among the event favourites ahead of the showdown in Qatar having won the Copa America in 2021.

And a Netflix talkie has revealed Messi’s shifting dressing room speech to his teammates ahead of their triumph over Brazil.
