Henrik Larsson sits down with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright on The Overlap for an in-depth conversation covering one of football’s most remarkable careers — and his complicated relationship with the modern game. The former Celtic hero reflects on his early years in football and the path that ultimately brought him to Parkhead, where he would cement his status as one of the club’s greatest-ever players. Larsson speaks warmly about settling into life in Glasgow, connecting with the supporters and producing unforgettable moments in the famous green and white shirt. His Celtic spell remains a defining chapter, but the discussion moves on to his experiences at the very top of European football. Larsson recalls his time at Barcelona, where he played alongside a young and emerging Lionel Messi, witnessing first-hand the beginnings of a generational talent. He also reflects on his short but memorable stint at Manchester United, where he shared the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo and contributed to Sir Alex Ferguson’s squad during a crucial period of the season. Despite the brief nature of the move, Larsson explains why his time at Old Trafford remains such a special memory. In the latter stages of the conversation, Larsson opens up about life after football and admits he has fallen out of love with the modern game. He explains what has changed, the aspects of football he struggles to connect with today, and what he believes could help restore the values that once defined the sport.
