Henry reaches his century

Anna Segura

Tuesday's game against Inter marked Thierry Henry's 100th appearance for Barca since he signed in the summer of 2007. During that time the French striker has notched up 46 goals.

A few days ago it was Bojan Krkic who made it 100 appearances and this Tuesday it was Henry's turn, fittingly marking his century in an important Champions League tie.

Debut in 2007

Thierry made his official debut for the club on 26th August 2007 coming off the bench in the opening game of the 2007/08 league season against Racing Santander which ended rather disappointingly in a goalless draw.

47 games in first season

In that first season at the club, Henry made 47 official games under Frank Rijkaard -30 in la Lliga, 10 in the Champions League and 7 in the Spanish Cup, scoring a total of 19 goals in all.

Key part of Treble winners

It was the next season that Henry wrote his name in the history of the club as a key part of the treble winning all conquering team. Although he missed the end of the league season with injury he was available for the Rome Final against Manchester United and finally won his first Champions League winners medal. In 40 games in the 2008/09 season he scored 25 goals.

Goals

Thierry Henry's first goal for the club came on 19th September 2007 against Olympic Lyon in the Champions League and since then he's gone on to bag 45 more, averaging 2.17 goals a game in a Barca shirt.
