Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola insists he's happy with Samuel Eto'o's form in the opening two games of the new season.

After their 1-1 draw with Racing Santander last night, Guardiola said: "I'm pleased with how he has done in the two league games. With very little space, he has always done well, but in the end, scoring is the most difficult skill on the pitch.

"The players are down, but my job is to encourage them, make them see they have done good things. I do not have the feeling that we have played a bad game. We've been better, but we drew."
