Barcelona maintained their lead at the top of La Liga with a win at Sporting Gijon, and Andres Iniesta and Rafael Marquez later reflected on the performance.
Speaking to Marca after the game, Iniesta said, "We played a complete game, we combined well and created a lot of chances, but maybe lacked a goal to kill the game off."
"Ibrahimovic contributes a lot to the team, even when he doesn't score, but a player of his quality will score quickly."
Marquez then offered his thoughts, continuing, "It was a complicated game, because the pitch was not in great shape."
"We had a lot of chances in the first half, but did not take them all, and in the second half we had to deal with their attacks."
