Barcelona youngster Carles Alena was handed a start against Valencia, but was taken off in the 66th minute to accommodate Arthur.

The midfielder displayed a promising performance and is not the one to be bothered about being substituted.

Alena is happy with the chances he is receiving and hopes to make the most out of it.

“I’m not surprised I was substituted and I’m happy with the chances the coach has given me,” he said afterwards, according to Marca.

“It’s the coach’s decision and I’m happy every single time I step onto the pitch.

“I feel very comfortable and I know this team better, I think the group played a great game.

“I felt very comfortable, but for me it’s not important how I play if the team doesn’t win.

“At the beginning we were a little bit asleep, but the attitude of the group was perfect.

“We’re even leaving this encounter after coming back with a strange feeling that we should have won.”
