France legend Thierry Henry has picked out the club that he regrets not signing for in his career.

During what was an illustrious career, Henry played for some of the biggest clubs in world football, including the likes of Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona and New York Red Bulls.

In total, the Frenchman made 813 club appearances across all competitions, scoring 366 goals.

Henry is also arguably the best player to ever play in the Premier League, having won the title on two occasions while playing for the Gunners.

On the international stage, Henry was capped 123 times by his country, netting 51 goals in the process.

During CBS Sports' Champions League coverage in 2022, Henry was asked to name a club he wished he played for.

Henry said: "Wow, let me think. It's a tough one but I'm gonna have to go and obviously, we all know, but Liverpool."

Slightly shocked by his answer, presenter Kate Scott replied: "Oh, okay. I didn't see that one coming."

Fellow pundit and former Liverpool man Jamie Carragher picked Barcelona, stating: "Barcelona, as a kid, that's the team I used to love."

Meanwhile, Micah Richards said: "The mighty Arsenal, to play with Titi (Henry)."

Back in 2013, Henry spoke about his experiences of playing Liverpool at Anfield for Arsenal.

He said, as reported by The Echo: "For my first few years at Arsenal we didn't do well there, but we improved. It's the atmosphere I love. It's unbelievable. I've played in a lot of stadiums but for me there is nothing like playing at Liverpool.

"Nothing can beat Highbury, of course, but playing at Anfield was great. The fans always sing and hold up their scarves before and after the game - whether they have won or lost."

Henry added: "It must be amazing if you are a Liverpool player."

Henry has also spokne positively about Reds legend Steven Gerrard previously, saying: "This guy, it pains me to look at him knowing that he didn’t win the league. I’m not saying that to be sarcastic, understand me well. Stevie G didn’t win the league’, when I say it, it sounds weird.

"That doesn’t change the impact, what he could he transmit, how he used to transcend people, the energy, the aura, the attitude."
