Xavi was delighted to see Barcelona teammate Thierry Henry among the goals in yesterday's 2-0 defeat of Almeria.

The Barca midfielder had admitted last week they hadn't been playing to the Frenchman's strengths and said last night: "The best thing was the result. We looked a lot for Henry, but it was difficult because they were closing down the space very quickly.

"Even so, he did manage to hurt them.

"Almeria made it difficult for us, there's no hiding from that."
