In terms of contribution to Barca/only Barca parts of their careers, then David Villa easily. He scored some very crucial games as mentioned in the previous page.

In terms of who was the better footballer/better career, Henry.

Henry easily.. Just wish he was in Barca longer..

Henry was a great player but at Arsenal and for France he never did anything in the CL, Euros or World Cup big games. He was past his best at Barca and poor at Juventus too. I realise I am nitpicking a bit but hIs legend is built on being amazing in a PL which had yet to become close to the best league in the world. Don't get me wrong, he was an excellent player, but when people start claiming he's one of the best players ever and up there with Zidane, R9 and Ronaldinho? No chance imo. Bergkamp was more talented than him I think.

Henry was one of the best players of his generation, but I really push back against hype that calls him one of the best of all time.

Still, Henry is the best of these three by a decent margin for me, but I voted Villa as I feel FOR BARCA he was better in 2011 than Henry was in 2009. Villa was a top player too, just not as good as Henry.

I have never liked Lewandowski much (despite being a top striker) so don't have much to say about him.

Henry.

Messi and co made his dreams come true when they won everything.
Will never forget how we let him sign for Atletico for peanuts while we had better offers. Then he almost injures himself while celebrating a goal against Barca.

For me it's David Villa. Despite having that terrible injury, he left us with quite a few memories. That final goal against Man. United(My favorite Champions League final ever), the brace in the 5-0 El Clasico, the 3rd goal against Milan in the remontada to name a few. He was great with the right foot, with the left, could score freekicks, and the way he scored those goals. He scored quite a few like this one:

I've always enjoyed his style of play to be fair, he was a great match for the greatest Barca team of all time.

For me, Villa.

If it wasn't for that injury, I'm sure we would have won the CL in 2012.

Don't know exactly where to post this as I can't find a thread for the best front 3 (Ronaldinho-Eto'o-Messi; Henry-Eto'o-Messi; Villa-Messi-Pedro; Neymar-Suarez-Messi), but this deserves a huge shootout

Visca Barca!

Lewy the best and most complete. Henry the most talented and entertaining.

Villa isn't on their level although he was great in his peak.

This forum is clueless.

The original topic discussion of this thread was who was the best for Barca, not about their overall career.

Was Henry that good for Barca? He surely wasn't as good as the votes suggest. His best days were at Arsenal and Pep used him as a decoy player.

For me, Villa has been better than Henry at Barca, but I could see the reasoning for some people putting Henry ahead as he had a great 08/09 season and winning the club their first ever treble.

Lewa's career at Barca is too short compared to the other two, plus others had more iconic moments. Needs to keep this form running if he wants to be in the debate.
