Javier Mascherano was delighted to play in midfield for Barcelona's win over Eibar.

The former Liverpool man has been fielded mainly in defence over the past three years at Barca.

"There are things to improve, but we are in the right line. We leave with the feeling of winning and against an opponent that is not easy.

"I was happy to play for Barça as a defensive midfielder," said the Argentine.
