"It's a cliché but it's true: titles are won on these pitches"

“It was important to start well after the international break. This place is very difficult to come to. We started well but then they improved. In the end all the effort paid off. They dropped off and we took advantage of that,” said Sergio Busquets after Barcelona’s 1-0 victory at Balaídos.

Physical condition: “The physical condition is very important from now on because we play midweek for two months. We are fine. The calendar is very tough but we are involved in all competitions still and that’s where we want to be. Today has taken more out of us because it is always tougher after a break.”

Xavi: “He has helped us gain a lot of possession, which is very important. Also, I think we have more competition for places now. This year we are better because we are better in attack.”

An important victory: “On these pitches league titles are won. It is a cliché but it is true.”

Orellana: He threw grass at me. It was strange but that’s why the referee is there, to ensure justice. It was a normal foul, he got angry. He made things difficult for himself but these things happen.”
