Barcelona's Sergio Busquets pleased with first-leg win

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets praises his team's second-half performance against Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has revealed his delight at his team's 2-0 win at Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

A second-half double from Lionel Messi ensured that the Spanish side would take a two-goal lead into the second leg of their last-16 tie next month.

Busquets has conceded that his Catalan side struggled to get going in the first half, but was pleased with the second-half performance.

"We didn't start well at all, but in the second half we were the better team," Busquets told reporters. "It's a good result for these second leg. The team reacted after half time."

Barcelona are attempting to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League.
