Strategist Pep Guardiola praised the playing style of the opponents after a victory in the Spanish championship against "Villarreal."

Two goals by Lionel Messi and one by David Villa determined the Catalan victory.

"Villarreal" left a great impression on me. It's no wonder that they have maintained a very high level for several years already," said the strategist to "El Mundo Deportivo."

"They are not just a team, but a real gem - they played excellently and pressed while attacking. "Villarreal" always caused us the most problems at the "Camp Nou" stadium."
