Thierry Henry has compared playing for Barcelona to being a member of The Beatles.

The French ace insists that he has no regrets about calling time on a goal-laden spell at Arsenal and is enjoying life in Catalonia.

Despite being forced to play on the left wing for much of the season, Henry still feels that he has enjoyed a successful first campaign in Spain, even if it has taken time for him to get used to the welcome the Barcelona squad often receive on their travels.

Chaos

"It has been a fantastic experience. I am enjoying it," he told The Sun.

"When you play with Barca away from home, it is chaos.

"When you travel with Barca it's like the The Beatles are in town.

"I don't have any regrets. Not at all. I've only been on the bench three times and one of those was for a rest.

Winger

"I have seven goals in the league, three in the Champions League and three in the cup. And I have eight assists. For a winger, that is not bad!

"I love London, don't get me wrong. But I also love Barcelona. The weather here is amazing."

Barca are currently seven points behind league leaders Real Madrid in the Primera Division, but Henry is confident that Frank Rijkaard's side can still wrestle the title away from the Santiago Bernebeu.

"We can catch them," he insisted.
