How do you remember soccer legend Thierry Henry? Do you recall him as the fearsome young striker who led a wave of strong Arsenal sides? Or do you remember him as the matured star who helped iconic club FC Barcelona to a rare championship treble in 2009?
Ahead of a Champions League matchup on Tuesday, Arsenal and Barca sparred online Monday over who has more claim to Henry's legacy. With Henry highlights flying left and right, this is a battle we all win. Let's take a look.

Barcelona inadvertently started the fireworks with this tweet noting Henry's time at both clubs.
He was a star for @FCBarcelona and @Arsenal, but here’s @ThierryHenry at his best for us. #AFCvFCB https://t.co/zQy9LYopPy— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) February 22, 2016
To which Arsenal replied with an even better highlight.
Not bad @FCBarcelona, but what about this @ThierryHenry classic for @Arsenal? #AFCvFCB https://t.co/PfVxU31lHV— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) February 22, 2016
FCB struck back with this Vine showing some classic Barca teamwork, capped by an Henry screamer.

Then it was Arsenal's turn again.

And back to Barca -- just look at this goal!

Nothing like a little Henry highlight session to brighten up that Monday, right?
Arsenal and Barcelona -- sadly without Henry, who retired last December -- face off in their Champions League round-of-16 matchup Tuesday at 2:45 p.m. EST.
