Barcelona hat-trick hero Pedro was delighted with victory over Rayo Vallecano.

The 26-year-old, who had scored 10 doubles for the Catalan giants previously but never a hat-trick, was understandably delighted with his three goals but was keen to share the plaudits around.

He said on his club's website: "I'm very pleased because it was a difficult match and because of my team-mates, it's because of them that I scored the goals I scored.

"I'm happy with how the team worked tonight. We know how difficult Vallecas is, it's a hard place to come to. They have a competitive team, but we managed to find the spaces and score goals."
