Lionel Messi spoke to Sport.es after Saturday's game against Valladolid, which Barcelona comfortably won 3-0.

A delighted Messi said, "Winning was more important than me scoring a goal."

"It is always a difficult ground to play in, and now we have three more points ahead of Real Madrid's match. We played a good game in the end, even though we struggled early on.

"This result will allow us to be calm in the future."

Barcelona's next game will be away at Sporting Gijon on Saturday.
