Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman was pleased with their 4-0 friendly win against Nastic.

Rey Manaj struck a spectacular hat-trick, with Alex Collado also scoring.

“The important thing was that everyone played 45 minutes and got some fitness, that's the priority," explained Koeman. “We've only been working a week. The second half was different as Nastic were down to 10 men. We dominated more and created chances, in the end we got a good result. I saw some very positive things."

The coach highlighted that “everyone has come back well from holidays and trained hard. It was the first game and the main thing is getting fitness. Two different teams played so everyone was able to show their quality.

"Above all the young players, although there's no need to name names."
