Thierry Henry wants to win the European Cup in the Stade de France and make up for his secret World Cup disappointment.Henry was on the bench when France won the World Cup in Paris in 1998. The Arsenal skipper was poised to come on as a substitute against Brazil when Marcel Desailly received a red card and Henry was told to sit down again. He has never told the story before but recalled the bitter-sweet memories of the 3-0 win as he prepared to return to Paris for the Champions League final.Henry said: "I was warming up and I was supposed to come on 10 minutes after the beginning of the second half but Marcel Desailly got sent off and the plan changed. I respected it. On the spur of the moment I was disappointed that I didn´t come on."
