The midfielder had praise for an impressive Eibar performance

Then he turned his attention to the trip to Chelsea on Tuesday

Sergio Busquets admitted it was a tough game against Eibar at Ipurua on Saturday, as it always is. 

"It's true that we were a little uncomfortable during the game, but that's the way Eibar set up," the midfielder said.

"We knew that if we could overcome that first line of pressure, we would have chances. We didn't have lots of possession, though, and it took a long time to kill the game off but we didn't suffer too much, either." 

Busquets added that the schedule has been tough for Barcelona, although he didn't want to use it to take credit away from Eibar. 

He said: "When you play a busy month of January like we have, you have a disadvantage physically, but we wanted to stay alive in all three competitions.

"But more than paying for that here [against Eibar], you have to know that the opposition are going to make it difficult for you.

"Now we go to Stamford Bridge with confidence, in terms of results the season has been very good. But what's been done so far doesn't mean anything, we know that it's going to be really tough, that we have to be intelligent and that the tie lasts 180 minutes."
