Sergi Busquets was delighted to earn another start for Barcelona in last night's 6-1 thrashing of Sporting Gijon.

The young midfielder said: "If the coach thinks that I should play as a starter, I will do it, I'm ready. I wasn't ready for him this time, just like the day against Racing (Santander).

"I look forward to a day that it is not a surprise. I felt very well on the field, but there were many players always going forward, so I had to be very careful with my defensive work. I'm happy how everything went.

"When things go well it gives you a lot of confidence."
