Thierry Henry has hailed the ability of Barcelona teammate Andres Iniesta. "Andres is a player that does his work so quietly, without noise. And people do not take note. I knew about him before coming here, when he enters the field, Barcelona plays better," said Henry.

"I am not surprised by the goal he scored against Belgium on Wednesday. I am fortunate to see him every day in training and there are few players in the middle of the field that can do that.

"I cannot believe that he is not on the list of candidates for the Ballon d'Or."
