Leo is not normal – Henry

Thierry Henry admits he cannot believe that Lionel Messi is made of flesh and blood. The Argentine ball wizard has banged in eight goals in his last three games, including two hat-tricks, to take Barcelona level on points with bitter rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. “I have played alongside some great players, but Leo is very special. What Leo can do is difficult to find in any other player,” admitted Henry on Friday. “The other day I had my head in my hands because I did not know how he does such things. I received a load of messages all asking me if Leo is human. At times I ask myself that. What he does is not normal.” Henry and his Barcelona team-mates play Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals next week.
