Yeah, kind of. Still it was good to see all these young talents take the pitch. In games like these they would gain some team chemistry.

it's cool that they have had their debut. that's what you want as a youth and b-team player. you know that are part of the barcelona squad then if you take a look at how we treat our masia products.
sort of a sign: you have potential and you are working well, you will get your chance if you keep working

If Messi had come on & picked up an injury, Pep would have been murdered on his way home...

Messi: "Guardiola won me over in every aspect"
Did you imagine a year like this?
We were coming from two complicated years and people expected an improvement. We also expected to do better, but to be honest, I think that none of us deep down expected it. We couldn't imagine it.
Do you have time to think about what you've been achieving?
No, we cannot stop. We still have a few Liga matches and, above all, the Champions League final. We can't stop now. When the campaign is finished we will look back.
Playing practically the whole season is your greatest triumph?
Yes, I think so, because I've had two years getting injured, being away from the team for many matches, two or three years without playing in a season, many instances the same. Now being able to play everything is the best.
What do you think changed that allowed that to happen?
I don't know, I don't think there's something. I've always done everything the same. I got injured before because it had to happen.
You haven't taken any special precautions?
No, what I've been doing for the past years I still do with Juanjo (Brau, one of the team's physiotherapists), who has always been by my side. What has changed with this year, opposed to other years, is that I had a good preseason.
Guardiola has said many times that what he wants this season is to feel pleased. Is that something that you believe?
To me, of course. The coach is a special person, who thinks way beyond the playing pitch. The coach thinks much on human aspect. He's someone very close to the player, thinks like them, speaks very detailed to the players, and above all he's very similar and that's why everyone here likes him a lot.
In that sense, Guardiola has won you over?
In every aspect, because for one it's something great for a manager to be very close and to care about a player. He has treated me well since day one.

Unrealistic imo, deep down we know what we saw this season is very special. I don't care if he wins only the league and nothing else next season, the difference with him in charge and the positivity he's instilled is worth more in terms of team dynamic, stability and future success than any trophy. But maybe i'm being a hopeless romantic about it :tongue:
