Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola reveals his plans to take down Chelsea
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has said that the goals against Cultural Leonesa "relaxed" his side in their Copa del Rey win at Camp Nou.

The champions convincingly won by a 5-0 score line, thanks to a brace from Bojan Krkic and one each from Pedro, Lionel Messi and Xavi, securing a 7-0 aggregate win in the process.

"I congratulate the team because this is the way forward. After the break we had a little more rhythm, speed and better movement of the ball. The goals helped us to relax a little," he told a post-match press conference.

Guardiola also praised the performance of two goal hero Bojan Krkic, who is gradually returning to his best after injury.

He continued, "I am very happy for him, especially for the first goal, because he is a player who can get in there, where he scored. He will do well and should continue his efforts.

"Not only for the goals, I want the most out of him because you need them. He is valued by the club and the team."
