Arsenal former player Alexsandr Hleb revealed that he believes it was a mistake to join Spanish giants Barcelona in 2008 and that he missed out on his best years as a footballer.
The Belorussian arrived at the Camp Nou in 2008 after three seasons at Arsenal.
"Looking back now, it was a mistake signing for Barcelona," he said. "I lost my best years. I made some errors and I was never able to show my best."
Hleb, who now plays for BATE Borisov, also reflected on his relationship with then-teammate Thierry Henry and coach Pep Guardiola.
"He [Henry] offered me a spare room in his house," he explained. "We watched Arsenal's games together. "I wanted to play and I was annoyed because Guardiola wouldn't put me on. "Later, I realised that it was my fault."
