Thierry Henry returns to his home town, the scene of his greatest triumph, and lifts the Champions League trophy in his first campaign as captain. But for now, the Arsenal striker insists, it remains just a story. Henry was trying to rein in expectations when he spoke to reporters on the back of the plane carrying his team back from Turin on Wednesday night. In contrast to the Knockout Round and Quarter-Final, Arsenal will be favourites to beat Villarreal in the final four. But the Spaniards are a very accomplished outfit. Even then Milan or Barcelona will be waiting in the Final at Stade de France in Paris on Wednesday, May 17. Henry may have been thousands of feet in air but his feet were firmly on the ground. " It is true there is a great story there," said the Frenchman. " People can already see that. " But we are not there yet, and surely have not won it yet. You have to take it step by step. " I understand the Final is in Paris. But I am not the only one, you have Abou Diaby and Alex Song from there too. They [come] really only just round the corner from the stadium. " Also you can say also that Milan want to make it because of what happened last season to them, you can also say the same of Ronaldinho because he used to play for Paris St-Germain. At the moment, it is only a story and people are talking about it. " But I do remember winning the World Cup there! " There is a feeling that Arsenal have made a significant psychological step by reaching the last four after missing out twice in the Quarter-Finals since the Millennium. " You can never tell," replied Henry when the idea was put to him. " Look at what Leeds did when they reached one of the very first Semi-Finals against Valencia. Look at what Villarreal are doing, they are in the Semi-Finals in their first time. " For everyone at the Club, reaching the Semi-Final for the first time is something pretty good. Everyone is happy about it, and you can understand that. But we need to extend it, and see where we can go. We all need to make it happen. " --
