Guardiola: It was not an easy game

Barcelona successfully maintained their six-point advantage over Real Madrid at the top of the Primera Division ladder after a tenacious 2-0 win at Almeria.

“It may have seem like we had an easy game, but it was not easy at all,” he said during the post-match banter.

“We had control of the game but in the first half, we took too many touches on the ball. We needed to be faster and we achieved that in the second half. In football, nothing is simple. It is necessary to work and to continue making ourselves better.”
