Thierry Henry insists he is pleased with his first season at Barcelona.

The Arsenal legend has failed to reach the heights he enjoyed with the Gunners, but told El Pais: "It's a wonderful city, but I always come back to London.

"The general view seems to me that I've found it hard to adapt to the city and the club, but this is not true. What happened is that I played the first games while injured. I should have waited, but I was so anxious to play here ..."

Henry also defended the amount of endorsements he is currently involved with, which has been questioned by the Spanish press.

"I do not think that the ads or promotions are affecting my performance on the field. Indeed, it's great to disconnect (from the game)."
