Barcelona boss Tito Vilanova was pleased with his side's performance in their 2-1 Champions League defeat at Celtic on Wednesday night.

Jordi Alba was equally pragmatic about the result and believes he is beginning to settle into the side following his summer transfer from Valencia. "If we hadn't had the chances we created I wouldn't be leaving with the feeling I have, but it's time to focus on our next match," he said. "We're coming up against teams that close themselves off at the back and we're finding it difficult to get into the opposing team's area, but we're not worried about it. "The match allowed for the right and left-backs to push forward. Each day I'm feeling better and more comfortable when I go forward. "They created chances on set pieces because they know we're not a very tall team, but we also created a lot of chances but their keeper was brilliant."
