Title: Homage to Catalunya
Pairings: (hints at) Thierry Henry/Bobby Pires, (fleeting mentions of) Xavi Hernandez/Javiola Saviola, Pep Guardiola/Luis Figo
Characters: Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Leo Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Frank Rijkaard and various other Barca players
Rating: PG
Summary: It’s been a fair few weeks, and yet he still can’t stop doing it – comparing everything, like a tourist, a visitor. Nothing fits quite right, from the language – echoes of Italian, but he doesn’t want to think of those times, not really – to the food and the style of playing. Thierry Henry struggles with his move to Barcelona, in five segments.
