Xavi believes Barca are still to play to Henry's strengths and declared: "Henry is a player capable of anything, and it is a matter of time and confidence before he returns to form and starts scoring goals.

"We're all seeking to understand his game, exploit his strengths, when he goes into fifth or sixth gear and we send the ball deep so that he can prove his quality."

He added: "If the midfield plays more as a unit, then we can do more for our strikers. We know players like Henry are capable of causing great damage to opposition defences."
