Henry: We haven't won title yet

Barcelona striker Thierry Henry is warning against complacency after seeing his side further stretch their lead at the top of the Primera Liga summit with a 4-0 demolition of Valencia on Saturday night.

Henry, who had recently come under fire for his lacklustre performances since joining the Catalan club from Arsenal, led the way with a hat-trick as Barca recorded their 11th win in 14 league matches this season.

With second-placed Villarreal drawing 3-3 earlier in the night, Barca now boast a six-point advantage at the summit, but Henry is preaching caution with the season not yet at its midway point.

"We still haven't won anything," said Henry, whose side are next in action against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League in midweek, before hosting Real Madrid next weekend.

"We need to play each game and already we have to think about the next one, and then about Real Madrid," he added on Spanish television channel La Sexta.

Henry also played down his starring role in last night's Nou Camp mauling of third-placed Valencia, insisting everyone has their part to play.

"You always gain confidence when you have a game like that, but above my performance I want to highlight the collective work of the whole team and the end victory.

"We all do what we can to help the team. Today (Samuel) Eto'o was not here and I scored three goals, but maybe another day it will be a defender who makes the big impact."

He added: "I hope we continue like this. The fans are enjoying it in the stands and us on the pitch.

"We knew that to win we would have to play very well, because Valencia still hadn't lost away from home. They were a very difficult opponent."
