Barcelona: Memphis Depay's awkward handshake with Thierry Henry

Thierry Henry and Sergio Aguero made a surprise visit to Barcelona’s pre-season training camp.

The two legendary strikers, who’re the leading foreign goal scorers in Premier League history, turned up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Barcelona released footage of Henry and Aguero engaging with the current players Stateside and it really was wonderful to see.

However, in one of the videos uploaded to the club’s official social media channels, there was a slightly awkward interaction between Henry and Memphis Depay.

The French icon – who spent three trophy-laden years in Catalonia after signing from Arsenal – shook hands with virtually every member of the travelling party, Depay included.

But the Dutchman’s moment with the bona fide footballing legend didn’t last long at all.

After a fairly tame handshake, Henry quickly switched focus to Pedri and Depay looked a little lost.

Despite the fact it was a bit of an awkward situation from the camera’s view, the former Manchester United forward didn’t walk away and instead watched on admiringly as a smiling Henry said hello to Ansu Fati.

Poor ol’ Memphis. He clearly thought he was going have a little chinwag with ‘Titi’, but it just wasn’t to be. Who knows, maybe they had a prolonged chat when the cameras weren’t rolling.

Here’s some of the best reaction from fans…

Depay is killing me. Henry don’t know you like that bro https://t.co/dZyq4XACJh

Depay has been heavily linked with a move away from Barcelona this summer following a mixed debut season in 2021/22.
