Thiery Henry scored a sensational hat-trick, his first league goals for Barcelona, in a crushing 4-1 victory over Levante on Saturday. French superster Henry had been waiting patiently for his first goal in the Spanish Championship since his 24- million-euro summer move from Arsenal and like the buses, three came at once. This has proved that Thiery is still the old self as it used to be when he was in Arsenal.
Henry broke his duck on the 17 minutes sliding the ball home after Lionel Messi’s initial shot was saved. The second arrived seven minutes later when the frenchman raced on a brilliant pass from messi and produced a trademark side-footed finish.
Henry capped a fine game with his third after 48 minutes before Messi scored two minutes later and the Argentine now tops the scoring chart with five goals
" i am delighted for Thiery "said Messi. " it is great that he is off the mark and we are happy to get another three points from a great display" It was Barcelona’s first away win of the season and on this evidence there will be many more as botton side Levante were pulverised by the Marauding runs of Messi and Henry.
