Former Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson has hit out at their critics.

The ex-Celtic and Manchester United forward says any criticism of Barca's playing style comes from people who don't understand the game.

"I find them extraordinary and I am very happy to see players there that I shared a dressing room with," the Swede told Sport.

"I sometimes hear comments that say their game or the Spanish team are boring. To say that means you have no clue about football.

"This game is based on having the ball and trying to score in the opposite goal. No ball no options. As simple as that. The other teams are boring!"
