Many fans believed Henry would decide to end his career with Barcelona, but in the end Henry said
‘There had been so much speculation about me leaving - I won’t lie, it crossed my mind,’ he said. ‘But I think with my heart and it told me to stay. I have been welcomed with open arms, the love I receive here is something I can’t forget.’

Congrats to Barca..They are indeed the best out there.

Now let’s talk about the Final a little:

1. The referee spoiled the game

2. The referee spoiled the game

3. And yes..,the referee spoiled the game.

Really dissapointed with the ref, he seems to be a barca supporter, don’t get me wrong,Barca deserved their win..but at least be a little more consistent with decisions.

Roberto Carlos claims that anything is possible,after hearing of Chelski intrest in him.

The Real Madrid leftback says it would be be a wrench to leave the Spanish giants but with elections for a new president due to be held at the beginning of July, he admits his future at the club is up in the air.

“Nothing has been signed although I have been told Chelsea want me,” he told Spanish daily Marca.

“I have told them they have to speak with Real Madrid, that there are a period of elections and that I have contract.

“I do not know what is going to happen in the elections and I have to know if the new president and the new coach want me.

“It is true there has been something from Chelsea and if it is concrete, it would give me a lot of grief to leave Madrid after so many years.”

Chelsea have previously inquired about the Brazilian and reports in Spain claim Asier del Horno could move the opposite way in a swap deal.

Chelsea FC are set to unveil Germany’s Michael Ballack as their new signing.

The Germany captain is out of contract at Bayern Munich, has been in discussions with the Premiership champions for several weeks and has reportedly been offered £130,000 a week.

Ballack, who is set to be unveiled at a Stanford Bridge press conference on Monday, said on Friday: “The time has come for me to make this move.

“When I came to Bayern (in 2002), general manager Uli Hoeness told me ‘When you’re 29, you can still move abroad’.

“I turned down an offer from Real Madrid at the time, which was very attractive.”

So, if based on Jose Mourinho’s prediction of signing 3 major players this summer,it looks like
1 down two to go…….Andriy Shevchenko anyone?..
