"madness" for anyone but Lionel Messi to win this
year's Ballon d'Or.
Fifa's world player of the year for 2015 will be announced in
Zurich on Monday, with Messi, Neymar and Cristiano
Ronaldo all in the running for the prize.
The Argentine is the heavy favourite and Henry has backed
him to claim the award for the first time since 2012, but he
is disappointed Luis Suarez did not make the three-man
shortlist.
"All we can do is enjoy what [Messi] does because what he
is doing is not normal," Henry told Barca's official website.
"We used to say that a player who got 23 to 25 goals in a
season was an incredible striker, but Messi does that in
three months.
"We had incredible players in that [Barca] team [that Henry
played in] and whenever you did not know what to do, you
always looked for Messi.
"I think it would be madness if he does not win the Ballon
d'Or. He deserves it because the team won another
treble. But what I do not understand is why Suarez isn't
there."
Henry says the current Barcelona team is capable of being
crowned European champions in back-to-back years for the
first time in the Champions League era.
"In a single game, Bayern [Munich] can win it and you have
to be careful with PSG too," he said. "You never know what
might happen, but I think Barca can win it again."
