Guardiola: A good performance but nothing more

FC Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola remained unmoved despite his players reaching the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with a scintillating first-half display against Olympique Lyonnais (5-2 the final score), saying: “It was a good performance, nothing more”.

We have quality players in midfield like Xavi and Iniesta, who moved the ball with great intensity. Furthermore, we paid close attention to Karim Benzema and did not concede any free-kicks near the penalty area for Juninho to exploit”.

“It was a good performance but nothing more; we have not achieved anything. Now we have to recover physically and mentally. I have no preferred opponents in the next round; at this stage of the competition any team you draw is very strong and will be difficult to overcome.
