Barcelona defender Alonso relieved after victory over Celta Vigo

Barcelona defender Marcos Alonso admitted relief after victory over Celta Vigo.

Alonso admitted Barcelona suffered as they beat Celta 1-0 on Sunday and conceded they gave up too many chances.

Here is what Alonso, who played as a makeshift centre-back, said: "We suffered a little more, but the important thing was the three points. Celta are a good team and they made it hard to keep possession of the ball.

"We can't give up so many chances in a game we had controlled.

"If the team needs it, I can adapt to everything. We hope the injured players are back soon."
