“If you win games, there is a better atmosphere in the locker room and your morale goes up. Villarreal is a very good team and we played very well. A 3-0 at half-time is very good.

“I don’t care where I play, but I feel comfortable when I participate in the game, when I playthe ball a lot and tonight I touched the ball a lot.”

Thursday’s win was a huge result for Barcelona after disappointments against Inter and Real Madrid and relieves some of the pressure on Xavi.
