BARCELONA - Barcelona are confident that both striker Thierry Henry and midfielder Andres Iniesta will be fit for next week's Champions League final against Manchester United, defender Gerard Pique said.
"The team is confident they will get there," Pique said in remarks at an awards ceremony published on Barca's website. "They are working day and night to recover and I am sure they will get there," he added.
