Thierry Henry was delighted with his hat-trick in Barcelona's 4-0 thumping of Valencia last night.

The former Arsenal captain was outstanding in the romp and remarked afterwards: "We were playing for three points, which is the most important thing. I'm very happy, it's important because I helped us to win.

"Sometimes it's Leo (Messi), a lot of the times it is Samuel (Eto'o), so we're capable of scoring goals from anywhere.

"I don't know what has changed from last season. I can't put my finger on it.

"Hopefully, we're able to continue like this because the fans are enjoying it and we are too."
