Henry off mark with Barca boost

A FRANCOIS Clerc own goal in the first half and late strikes from Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry gave Barcelona a comfortable victory over Lyon in their Group E Champions League clash at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.

It was one-way traffic for much of the contest and the Barca onslaught started early.

Messi returned to the Barcelona side after missing Sunday’s Primera Liga draw with Osasuna and the Argentina forward threw himself at Ronaldinho’s low cross on seven minutes, but was unable to make contact.
