NBA star Steve Nash dropped by to watch Saturday’s training session and told us: “It’s a pleasure to watch Barça play”.

Steve Nash, who plays for the Phoenix Suns, watched the first team training session in the Joan Gamper sports complex with great interest. He is in Barcelona to visit his good friend Thierry Henry.

Shame about Henry

In an exclusive interview with Barça TV and www.fcbarcelona.cat, Nash told us: “I’ve come to Barcelona because Henry invited me to see a match. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to see him play because he’s injured”. This is not the first time he has visited Barcelona: “I’ve been to Barcelona before during the holidays when there aren’t any matches. It’s the first time I’ve been here when the season is still on”.

The team, “one of the best on the planet”

Nash explained that he follows the exploits of the team very closely: “I’m a great fan of the whole team. I love the way they play. For me it’s a great honour to be able to enjoy a match in the Camp Nou. We’re talking about one of the best teams on the planet”. Nash is delighted that his good friend Henry is part of “such a great team”.
