Juve ain’t seen nothing yet

THIERRY HENRY has the insouciant air of someone who would ordinarily consider revenge beneath him, but when he returns to Juventus tonight, there is more at stake than simply Arsenal’s Champions League future.

Henry may now be indelibly linked with Arsenal red, but for seven unhappy months in 1999 he was bedecked in Juve black and white. It was a troubled time, ended mercifully when Arséne Wenger, who had first spotted his potential as a teenager while in charge at Monaco, brought him to north London for £10.5million.

Henry is dignified enough not to berate his former employers for their shoddy treatment of him during his brief stay.
