Alex Hleb is delighted with his decision to join Barcelona in the summer.

The former Arsenal midfielder was outstanding in Saturday's romp against Valencia and said: "I'm feeling better every day.

"Learning the language is important for me and very soon I believe I will be playing at my very best."

On facing Real Madrid this weekend, Hleb added: "We'll be ready. Every team this season wants to knock off Barca - Real Madrid even more."
