Xavi took Thierry Henry down a peg with cutting remark after Arsenal to Barcelona transfer

Thierry Henry arrived at Barcelona in 2007 one of the hottest properties in world football - but that wasn't enough to impress Xavi.

Having cemented legendary status for himself during an eight year stint with Arsenal, Henry signed for the Catalan giants for a fee of around £21million. By that point the midfield maestro had been with the club at decade, and was quick to let the Frenchman know about the values.

And the 45-year-old recalled the incident while lambasting the current club culture at PSG, with the Parisians in disarray following another failed Champions League campaign. Marquee signing Lionel Messi is also leaving this summer after falling foul of club owners for travelling to Saudi Arabia without permission.
