Sergi Roberto buzzing after 5-star Barcelona performance

Sergi Roberto was thrilled with his influence on Barcelona's win over Getafe.

In his first match back after overcoming a groin injury, he was one of the protagonists of the game against Getafe, assisting both of Barça's goals. The first was a spectacular no-look heel pass that left Luis Suárez all alone to open the scoring, while the second was for Neymar, who finished at the far post.

"I wasn't thinking about it at the time, it's decided by thousandths of a second and it was the only option I had. The important thing is that it served to help the team," Roberto told reporters after the game.

In addition, Roberto said he left behind all the problems related to his injury. "After an injury it is important to get back into the rhythm of competition. I felt fine physically, without any discomfort."
