Aleix Vidal doesn't think Barcelona's penalty taking is bad

Aleix Vidal was pleased with Barcelona's win over Sporting Gijon because he thinks smaller teams have huge motivation against big sides.

The full-back told Movistar TV after the game: "I played for teams like Sporting and I know that they had a special motivation when playing against Barcelona, so it is really complicated to win these matches. We played well and we deserve this result.

“We’re having a really good season in the league and we have a good advantage in the table. We can’t relax and we have to keep going this way."

He didn't think Suarez's missed penalty was anything to cry about, even though Barcelona have missed seven of their last 15, Messi's passed penalty not included.

"I don't think it should looked upon too badly," he said. "If we score a lot of goals it's for a reason."
