Then came a move to Barcelona, where he won the treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League in 2008-09. In 2010 he signed for Major League Soccer side Red Bulls, where he spent five seasons and also had a two-month loan spell back at Arsenal in early 2012.
Henry was a World Cup winner with France in 1998 and won the European Championship two years later, scoring 51 goals in 123 appearances for Les Bleus. He retired as a player in December 2014 to work as a television pundit, before joining Belgium's coaching staff in 2016.
