Barcelona Humble In Victory
Following yet another exhilarating victory, Barcelona's players have once again spoken of the need to keep their feet on the ground...

Barcelona are so used to winning by large margins this season that their post match press conferences are becoming quite predictable. On Saturday night, the squad once again stressed the need to avoid getting carried away.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Samuel Eto'o said "We needed the victory and although it was complicated, we won the game at a difficult ground. At the end of the day, all the games are worth three points just like this one."
The Cameroonian then spoke of his impact on the game, stating "I was alive for the goal and when I struck it Palop was badly placed. I want to play not just as a forward but all over the pitch and I enjoy working hard." Last night Eto'o made seven tackles, an impressive number for a forward.
Finally, the striker spoke of his sadness at being suspended for next week's match against Valencia, saying "It is a pity but I am going to work hard in training to help my team mates win the game."
The only consolation for Eto'o will be that his suspension should ensure that he is available to play against Real Madrid, an opponent he loves to score against.
Lionel Messi was the man of the match, and he said "Sevilla are a great team that made life complicated. I believe that we are in the middle of a great season and we need to continue like this."
Messi then revealed that the squad knew about Real Madrid's loss before the match, but stated "We have to continue winning and if they also lose, then it's even better."
Finally, club captain Carles Puyol had his say, stating "These three points are important because they will give us confidence. If we continue like this then things will work out well."
Fans of Valencia and Real Madrid will be hoping that the press conferences in the coming weeks are not similar to this one.
