Anna Segura


Pep Guardiola paid tribute to his team’s performance after their win over Villarreal who he also praised, claiming: “they really impressed me".


Guardiola was clearly pleased with the result and also with the entertainment offered up to the Nou Camp faithful, insisting: “it was a top notch game”. The boss also highlighted the part the visitors had played in producing such a good match: “they(Villarreal) are the team who we’ve faced who have been at the highest level and it wasn’t easy to beat them – that says a lot for them”.

They are a tough team to attack and defend against and I really value this win very highly indeed”.

Puyol’s 500th game

Carles Puyol played his 500th game for the club tonight and Guardiola and the team dedicated their victory to the captain. Guardiola claimed: “Carles is one of the role models for people at this club. He has so much desire to compete”.

Abidal

Éric Abidal partnered the captain at the heart of the defence against Villarreal and he was also the object of the boss’ admiration: “he was spectacular. When we decided not to sign any more centre halves, one of the options we knew we had was Abidal in that position. He’s been a great help “.
