Thierry Henry insists that he is happy with life at Barcelona despite reports claiming otherwise.

The Frenchman has been a shadow of his former self this season and has failed to impress Pep Guardiola who has left Henry on the bench on many occasions this season.

Henry refuted claims that he is frustrated with life at the Spanish club when he told Sport, "There are many stories, more from France than here [Spain]. I have no problem with anyone here, not the coach, not with anyone. I want to stress this because sometimes I hear things that are quite painful,"

The former Arsenal forward went on to defend his insipid run of form.

He added: "The coach says what he wants. He played me up front and I tried to help as best I could. And finally he put me out on the left,"

Barcelona will now shift their focus back to the La Liga having secured their place in the next round of the UEFA Champions League by sending Stuttgart packing on Tuesday night with a handsome 4-0 victory to win 5-1 on aggregate.
