Henry proud to be leading Arsenal

Thierry Henry says he is proud to be leading Arsenal out in the Champions League final in his home city of Paris.

The Gunners take on Barcelona on May 17 in what is arguably the biggest game in the club's history.

Henry is determined to make history for Arsenal, saying: "When you are in the final of the Champions League you are not thinking about whatever is around, you want to win the thing.

"We are all proud, of course I am proud to have reached finally the Champions League final with Arsenal for the first time in their history, and for me to lead the team out in Paris will be a special moment."

Henry also reflected on Arsenal's close finish in fourth position, just 2 points ahead of arch-rivals Tottenham.

The Arsenal captain had no sympathy for Tottenham, believing that they had assumed that they had fourth spot tied up.

Henry added: "But on the other side we were more than happy to finish fourth because that is the best we could have done at the time because we dropped so many points, and what a great pleasure to finish just above Spurs.

"I think they were dancing before the end and I always say you have to dance at the end, not before the end of a competition, that's why I don't like to talk before any competition."
