Guardiola: Barcelona turned on a show for fans with Osasuna thrashing

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was delighted with their 8-0 thrashing of Osasuna.

Lionel Messi struck a hat-trick, while David Villa netted a brace.

"We played well and we have worked hard to help people enjoy what has become a good show," Guardiola said after the match. "It was like going to movies or the theatre but at the end it stops being a show.

"There are few teams in the league that have the courage to get at our faces and I like these types of coaches as we learn a lot from them.

"What we wanted to get out more than anything was to obtain control and security during the game, and after we accomplished that, we wanted all of our players to get involved in scoring opportunities."
