Granada coach Alex Medina was pleased with Facundo Pellistri's performance in Sunday's 3-3 draw at Barcelona.

The Manchester United loanee scored one and created another in a superb display.

Medina later said: "Pellistri's contribution was a lot, I told him what I wanted from him and in his second game he is showing the hierarchy and quality he has.

"I am very satisfied and happy with his signing. It will help him to have minutes and show his football because at United he was relegated."

Medina also had a word for underfire Barcelona coach Xavi: "We had a conversation about football, I admired him a lot as a player and I also admire him as a coach because the work he is doing at Bara is very valuable.

"Other Baras were created through the wallet and this Bara is an ultra young team and competitive. We talked about football, tactics and what's coming, it was very productive for me personally."
