I think we played a good game, especially in the second half, where we raised the level with more control. On a personal level I’m very happy, it’s a part of my game that I focus a lot on because I have to improve. I’m in the best moment of my career. I’m very happy with Hansi Flick, he’s a top coach. [Winning] is the objective and it is every year when you are at a club like Barca. The season is long and we have not won anything yet, but you have to relax and continue enjoying yourself.

Barcelona ran absolute riot against Red Star Belgrade as Inigo Martinez opened the scoring for the visitors. Despite an equalizer from Silas, Robert Lewandowski’s double-whammy, laced with a goal apiece from Raphinha and Fermin Lopez, was more than enough to seal the deal for the Catalans.

In fact, such was the intensity of the game, that Pau Cubarsi, one of the key centrebacks for Barcelona, had to cop ten stitches on his face after a brutal tackle, and yet the resolve shown by the youngster was unparalleled.
