Barca booked their place in the quarter finals of the Champions League with a polished display to trounce French champions Lyon 5-2 at the Nou Camp.

Thierry Henry latches on to a pass from Rafael Marquez, a defence-splitting one, and the great Frenchman keeps his cool to slot past Hugo Lloris to give the Catalans a deserved lead on the night and on aggregate.

Thierry Henry likes the Champions League, doesn’t he? He just - just - stays onside from a smart Xavi pass and fires past Hugo Lloris with his left foot. Just need a header now and that’s the perfect hat-trick.

That’s why he’s the best footballer in the world today. Lionel Messi scores a goal no-one else could, chesting the ball down on the right touchline, skipping past three Lyon defenders, playing a one-two with Samuel Eto’o and slotting into the far corner. Genius.

The holy trinity of Barca strikers have all scored this half, remarkable scenes at the Camp Nou. Thierry Henry’s pass from the left is instantly controlled by Samuel Eto’o, who turned 28 yesterday, and he rifles the ball into the top corner from 15 yards.

Jean Makoun rises unmarked to powerfully head home Juninho’s corner from the right as the French side get on the scoresheet.

Cesar Delgado finds some space down the right and crosses, Karim Benzema brilliant steps over the ball and Juninho rolls it past Victor Valdes.

Xavi plays another mind-boggling pass through to Seydou Keita at the Camp Nou and he keeps his cool to round the Lyon keeper Hugo Lloris and slot into the net.
