Former Arsenal skipper Thierry Henry has revealed that Liverpool's Anfield is his favorite stadium to play in.
The Barcelona and France striker has played in all the biggest stadiums in Europe, but says the atmosphere at Anfield makes it the best.
Henry said: "For my first few years at Arsenal we didn't do well there, but we improved.
"It's the atmosphere I love. It's unbelievable.
"I've played in a lot of stadiums but for me there is nothing like playing at Liverpool."
His praise of Anfield may be seen as a hint about desiring a move back to England as he has failed to settle down in his first season at Barca, and is known to be good friends with Reds skipper Steven Gerrard.
Henry added: "Nothing can beat Highbury, of course, but playing at Anfield was great.
"The fans always sing and hold up their scarves before and after the game - whether they have won or lost.
"It must be amazing if you are a Liverpool player."
