Arsenal's Ljungberg: We all want Henry to stay


Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg says the future of skipper Thierry Henry won't be a factor in tonight's Champions League final against Barcelona.
The Swede said: "We want Thierry to stay - everybody does.

"But when you go on the pitch, that's not what players think about.
"We want to win and make family and friends proud. That is what's on our mind.
"Barcelona are a great side and it will be tough. They like going forward and hopefully it will create space for us."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger backed Ljungberg's view.
He said: "Thierry Henry is focused on the game and what happens after we will cope with it. But I believe he will stay."
