Henry form boosts Barca

Barcelona : Thierry Henry's timely return to form is helping Barcelona into the home stretch of its Spanish league duel with bitter rival Real Madrid.

Madrid and Barcelona share 65 points atop the league standings, with Madrid ahead only on goal difference after 26 games.

Although Lionel Messi's goals have carried Barcelona recently, Henry started Wednesday's 4-0 Champions League win over Stuttgart and was decisive in last weekend's league victory over Valencia.

With Madrid determined to win its first league trophy since 2008 after being knocked out of the Champions League, Barcelona needs Messi's supporting cast to step up, starting with today's match at Zaragoza.

"The most important thing is I feel good," Henry said.
