Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman was happy with their 5-2 thumping of Real Betis - though wanted more goals.

Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty on the day.

"We deserved the win and also to have led by more goals at half time," Koeman said afterwards. "We had lots of chances and we missed a penalty. We went in [at half time] at just 1-1 but, in the second half, we kept our team spirit and scored five, which could've been more.

"I'm happy with [Griezmann]'s work. He missed a penalty and he didn't score his chances. He was unlucky, but he's always there to score. Mentally, that affects you. But he has confidence in himself and he scored. Leo gave him a great assist without touching the ball."

Lionel Messi started the afternoon on the bench before coming on to score twice in the second half.

"We've been saying since [Friday] that he'd had some niggles since the game against Dynamo Kiev," Koeman said on his captain. "We spoke and we decided to leave him on the bench in case we needed him.

"If he didn't have any niggles, he would've played. We know who he is and I have no doubts over him. I see him work every day. He didn't start, but he was very important in the second half."
