Barcelona striker David Villa has said that he is pleased with his performance against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Saturday.

The 30-year-old, who has recently returned from a long-term leg injury, scored in the Blaugrana's 5-0 victory in Madrid.

"I'm in great shape, and I am very happy to return to playing football again," he told AS. "I am delighted at helping my team win by getting a goal.

"It so happens that I have never played at this stadium [of Rayo]. I am happy to debut here, score and win and that everything turned out fine."

Barca remain at the top of the league standings with 25 points from nine matches.
