Barcelona Boss Guardiola Pleased After Sporting Gijon Win
The Blaugrana maintain their lead at the top...
By Arjun Miglani
Speaking to Marca after the game, Guardiola said, "It was a good victory in a stadium where few have won."
"This win carries a lot of merit. We did not make the best decisions in the final third, which prevented the margin from being greater.
"We are happy with our defensive play, since they did not create as many chances as Tenerife or Villarreal.
"Anything could have happened with the two free-kicks Sporting had at the end."
Barca's next game is at home against Getafe.
