Guardiola later talked enthusiastically about Barca's youngsters: "I liked them a lot. The season is long, but I liked them. The positional play is extraordinary, the wingers act as extremes, the interiors arrive from deep, the full-backs attack the space..."

On midfielder Marc Bernal, he added:  "I found him extraordinary, how he controls, how he plays.
