| Brilliant Barca Still the Team To Beat As They Brush Aside Stuttgart |
|
Forget Manchester United's 4-0 thumping of AC Milan. Forget Arsenal cruising to a 5-0 win over Porto. Forget Jose Mourinho masterminding Inter Milan's victory over Chelsea. On Wednesday night, Barcelona demonstrated why they are still the team to beat.Last year's Champions League winners brushed aside Stuttgart 4-0 at the Nou Camp to reassert their claim to be Europe's number one, with Lionel Messi again the star.From start to finish, Barcelona controlled the game, and Stuttgart were unable to get close to their illustrious opponents. Stuttgart were dominant in Germany a fortnight ago, but could not contend with the Catalans on their home turf.Yaya Toure was instrumental in the middle of the park, breaking up Stuttgart attacks with ease. His distribution was excellent all night, and it was his pass that led to the first goal.Toure found Messi just inside their opponents half, and the Argentine superstar did the rest. Immediately turning to run at the Stuttgart defence, he ran,[...] |

| Henry: Nobody like Barcelona pal Messi |
|
Thierry Henry admits he is privileged to be playing in the same Barcelona team as Lionel Messi. Barca coach Pep Guardiola likened Messi to Michael Jordan after his performance in victory over Stuttgart. And last night, Henry agreed: "As we say in basketball, Messi is in the zone. Everything he touches is a goal, or an assist. I am thoroughly enjoying playing with him. What he does is not normal, there is nobody like him. "For the good of the team, I hope he stays this way" On his own improved form, Henry added: "I am not like Leo, but I've noticed I'm much better than two weeks ago because my form has improved." |

| Real Madrid fullback Arbeloa on Barcelona: We must beat one of best teams in history |
|
Real Madrid fullback Alvaro Arbeloa rates Barcelona as among the game's greatest ever teams. Real currently lead Barca on the Primera Liga table. Former Liverpool fullback Arbeloa said: "Barcelona, since last year has played at a very high level. With this demand, when you suffer a little, there is talk of a slump or crisis, but I think this season they've played well. "Against Stuttgart, they returned to their best. "We're talking about one of the best teams in history, they're playing very well and you must admit it. For us it will be difficult to win the league against this team, but it motivates us more." |

| Ibrahimovic agent hits out at Barcelona teammates: Support him! |
|
The agent of Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic admits he's upset over his benching for this week's Champions League victory over Stuttgart. Barca coach Pep Guardiola left Ibra on the sidelines, preferring to go with French veteran Thierry Henry in attack. "Ibra is very bad. He is very sad and disappointed," Ibra's agent Mino Raiola told El Mundo Deportivo. "Ibra wants to play more. He wants to be more important for the team, he's not perfect but he is a warrior, a fighter and I am sure he will come out of this quickly. He is a player with great character. "Ibra helps the team a lot and provides assists but also scores a lot of goals for his team. I see other players who also score goals but don't provide assists and I think it's time now that Ibrahimovic started receiving assists to be able to score more goals." |

| Barcelona captain Puyol urges teammates to stay grounded after Stuttgart thrashing |
|
Barcelona captain Carles Puyol has called on teammates to stay grounded after their thumping of Champions League opponents Stuttgart this week. Barca head into the quarterfinals draw full of confidence after the 4-0 result. "The euphoria is normal but we have our feet on the ground as it's already been shown you can have one bad day and be eliminated," said Puyol. Winger Pedro added: "We are getting closer (to retaining their title) but it's difficult and we have to take it step by step. "All the remaining teams will be difficult, we respect them and we have to be focused." Barca go into today's draw for the last eight along with 2008 winners and last season's runners-up Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Lyon, Bordeaux, CSKA Moscow and Bayern Munich. Barca president Joan Laporta said: "I'm very pleased. It was important to get through to the quarters, the team deserved it. We are on the right path. The important thing is that we are continuing forward[...] |

| Henry: Never any row with Barcelona coach Guardiola |
|
Thierry Henry has rubbished reports from France of a falling out this season with Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. Guardiola handed Henry a start for this week's Champions League victory over Stuttgart. "There are many stories, more from France than here [Spain]. I have no problem with anyone here, not the coach, not with anyone. I want to stress this because sometimes I hear things that are quite painful," the Arsenal legend told Sport. On being played out of position, Henry insisted: "The coach says what he wants. He played me up front and I tried to help as best I could. And finally he put me out on the left." |
