Thierry Henry on Barcelona Not Signing Marcus Rashford: “See, I’m sitting here, and I’m trying to make sense of it. I’m trying to find the logic, but honestly? I am shocked. I am highly, highly disappointed in my old club. When you play for Barcelona, it’s not just a football team. It’s an institution. There is a standard of class and loyalty you expect. You look at Marcus Rashford last season this is a guy who didn't just play for that shirt, he cleaned his heart out for us. Every single game, he put the club on his back. When the pressure was suffocating, Marcus delivered. He was absolutely vital to everything achieved last year, and let’s not forget, we won the league because of that sacrifice. He gave Camp Nou his soul, man. And how do we reward him? We dump him. Just like that. No gratitude. It hurts me to see, because that is not the Barça way. But okay, football is a business, right? You think, 'Fine, management must have a master plan. We must be bringing in a certified, world-class superstar.' But then I see who we actually go for... Anthony Gordon? Listen, Anthony is a good player. He has energy, he works hard. But we are going to spend three times Rashford's price on him? Three times?! In what world does that make footballing sense? In what world does that make financial sense for a club with our history and our current situation? It’s madness, bro. It’s complete madness. You throw away a proven winner who bled for your badge, and you bankrupt yourself for a gamble. It breaks my heart, because Barcelona used to be about identity and class. Right now? I don’t recognize my 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Last week, Cristiano Ronaldo reposted a photo shared by Karim Benzema from Mecca, the Holy City. Before Al Nassr’s match against Damac FC, Cristiano was also seen respectfully following his teammates during prayer, imitating their movements in kneeling and prostration. 💛🤲own club."
