The author of Barca’s second goal against Tenerife, Bojan Krkic, told reporters after Tuesday’s match: “It was a vital match. We couldn’t lose. The three points were essential”.

The young striker was delighted with the team effort but especially pleased about getting on the score sheet: “Goals like that help you progress. When you play and things go well you feel important. But I’ve always said that I’m very young and I’m still learning”.

"After Tenerife scored, we started to get a bit nervous but at the same time it gave us a boost”.

“It’s very important that the fans are behind us and that they show how much they want to win the league, just like us. They’re great”.

Here is a selection of the players’ comments after Tuesday’s match.

Valdés:

"It was a difficult day. The weather had a big influence but the team gave it 100%”.

“Now we have to focus on Sevilla”.

"We have to take the league one match at a time because Real Madrid are right behind us”.

"It was a game of two halves. The second half was more open, with more movement and some good football”.


"Tenerife pressed hard and didn’t surprise us”.

"Once again, today’s match says a lot about Messi. I hope he gets more than 31 goals”.


"From the outside it might look as if we’re easing off but we can’t”.

"I might watch the Real Madrid game because it’s good to see how other teams play”.

Pedro:

"Tenerife played well and got a goal. It was difficult for us but in the end we managed a good win”.

"They fighting relegation and we’re challenging for the league title. I hope they’re lucky and stay up”.
