Thierry Henry admits former Arsenal teammate Cesc Fabregas convinced him to join Barcelona last year.

The Frenchman revealed he could've joined Barca immediately after the 2005 Champions League final, but "it was not the time because the young players at Arsenal weren't ready" for him to leave.

Henry admitted that if Arsenal had beaten Barca then "the decision could have been different, but I couldn't leave after that defeat."
