Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen has played down claims from Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand.

Hjulmand has declared the Dane among the best centre-backs in the world this week.

"The national team coach said I'm one of the best centre-backs in the world? Honestly, I don't think so. Our defence at Barça has conceded only nine goals because we are a team and because of the great tactical preparation," said Christensen, who is arguably having the best season of his career.

Christensen also spoke about his Spanish ("it's improving") and his adaptation to Barcelona: "Barcelona is a brutal attraction for footballers.

"There are mountains, beaches and the food is excellent."
