Thierry Henry has played down talk linking him with a move away from Barcelona, saying he is happy at the Spanish titans.

The Frenchman's future at Camp Nou has been the subject of conjecture with the player thought to be unhappy with his role in Pep Guardiola's side.

Henry struggled again in Wednesday's win over Shakhtar Donetsk with the former Arsenal captain being substituted for Lionel Messi, who scored both goals in Barca's dramatic win in the Ukraine.

The 31-year-old insists he is happy at Barca and that the side's celebrations against Shakhtar showed the renewed spirit within the camp.

"I am happy at Barcelona and you can see that when everyone was off the bench when we scored," Henry told the club's official website.

Atmosphere

"We have a very good atmosphere in the team. It helps us to win games like the won that we have won here.

"We have changed the tactics but the team has the same attitude and character. It is better to win with goals and quality but sometimes you have to win like this."

Henry was replaced by Messi just before the hour mark and he believes the diminutive Argentine is the best player in the world.

"I am very pleased for Leo because he is the best player in the world," added Henry.
