Barcelona players have admitted they are wary of Arsenal's entire team ahead of their UEFA Champions League final and not just striker Thierry Henry. Henry finished the domestic campaign as the Premiership's top-scorer with 27 goals and scored decisive goals in the Champions League including the winner against Real Madrid, but Barcelona star defenders have stressed he is not the only source of danger. "We have to worry about the whole squad," Brazil's right-back Belleti told Barcelona's website after training on Wednesday. "Henry isn't the only player we have to worry about in order to go into the Champions League final with guarantees." Barcelona seek their second title of the season when they play Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League final in Paris on May 17th. Others compared the Frenchman with Barca's jewel and FIFA Footballer of the Year, Ronaldinho.
Eto'o "Just as happens with some of our players, such as Ronaldinho, there isn't a specific way to stop Henry," said Brazilian defender Sylvinho. "The best option is to worry about the team in general." Henry, who is strongly linked with a move to Barcelona next season, didn't only win praise from defenders but he was given huge credit by Barcelona dangermen as well. Instrumental playmaker Ronaldinho described the 28-year-old forward as one of the best players in the world while striker Henrik Larsson said Henry makes the whole team play. But Samuel Eto'o, Barca's top-scorer for the last two seasons, opted for moderate comments about Henry and highlighted the importance of other members in the Arsenal squad. "One player alone can't win matches," the Cameroon star said. "Henry might be the most well-known Arsenal player but we know there are other important players such Cesc (Fabregas), (Robert) Pires and (Jose Antonio) Reyes."
