Rijkaard: It wasn't the best Barcelona display

Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard admits yesterday's 0-0 draw with Osasuna wasn't the best performance of the season.

"It hasn't been the best game from our team, but I have seen a good attitude on the field," said Rijkaard. "Malaga played with great physical intensity, controlled the game and created chances to score.
"I think that the 0-0 draw is a correct result."
Rijkaard was happy with the full debut of young defender Rodri.
"Ha played an encounter with maturity. He has participated in the game and his performance has been good. He has performed well and that is something positive."
