Mathieu header saves Barca

[Barcaman]

Jeremy Mathieu headed home a vital winner 16 minutes from time as Barcelona ground out a 1-0 win at Celta Vigo to remain four points clear of Real Madrid in La Liga on Sunday.

“It was a tough game,” Mathieu said following the match. “After the international break, it’s always more difficult because the dynamics always drop a bit."


“Celta were better in the first half and in the second we profited from a free-kick. Sometimes you win and by small details."


“Sometimes games are won by suffering. Bar have suffered this year but the most important thing is the three points."


“The two goals, against Real Madrid and tonight against Celta, are as important as each other. The three points count the same.”

“Gerard (Pique) is at a very high level, to play by his side is incredible”

“We have the same difference between us and second place, but with a game less to play”

I'm becoming a big fan of our big chainsmoking Frenchman! Keep this up Mathieu! :barca scarf:

I like it how he doesn't sugarcoat things. He let himself down with Messi-Lucho row comment but it's only a testament of his honesty.

Who would have thought the smoker would bring us vital points in the title race. If this helps us to become champions then that 20m are nothing

why is he talking about goal difference though. He's been in spain for some time, does he not know about head to head result ?

He doesn't talk about goal difference. He means that the point difference between Barca and Madrid is the same but with 1 game less.
