The Mexican international has praised the attitude and spirit within the Barça squad and insisted that this is helping the team to perform well and get results: “We all understand each other very well and that makes it much easier to play”.
However, speaking to reporters after the win against Bayern Munich, Márquez also warned against any complacency: “It’s been hard to get where we are now and so we mustn’t ease up because that would throw away all the effort of the season. Every game is important and we have to continue with the same mentality”.
Márquez also spoke about Saturday’s match against Recreativo: “Obviously we’re very happy at the moment but now it’s time to think about Saturday’s match”.
Here are some of the post match comments from some of the other players of FC Barcelona.
Piqué
“I hope people enjoyed it as much as we did on the pitch”.
“We’ve done a big part of the job but worst things have been seen in football. We have to go there without any kind of relaxation”.
“It’s true that we played some great football but there’s no such thing as perfection and we also made some mistakes”.
“It was vital not to concede a goal because they could have got back into the game as happened against Lyon”.
Iniesta
“We’ve got a good result but as always you have to play the matches first. And at the very least we have to maintain the attitude we had this Wednesday”.
“We’ll do everything to play well in Germany”.
“We were very effective and played one of our most complete games in the stadium”.
“Barça deserves the credit but matches still have to be played and you have to win and score goals”.
“It’s a fantastic feeling when the crowd shouts your name”.
Henry
“Better to go there without having conceded”.
“You can always lose but we have to give 100% on the pitch”.
“We’ve seen many things in the Champions League and we can’t be sure about anything”.
“We’re on the pitch to give our all and when you play like that everything is easier”.
Messi
“Once again I think it was a great match”.
“Right from the beginning we knew what we had to do. And the match turned out perfect”.
“Obviously, not everything goes right for us but everything is easier when you’re happy”.
“It’s a very good result to take to the second leg”.
Laporta: “A magical performance”
Club president Joan Laporta did not hold back in his praise of the performance: “We were far
superior. A magical performance. I know that football fans, whichever team they support, will have
enjoyed themselves a lot. The first half was one of the best Barça has played”.
