Sergio Busquets says Barcelona ‘suffered a lot’ against Slavia Prague

Sergio Busquets admitted Barcelona “suffered a lot” in their 2-1 victory over Slavia Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Ernesto Valverde’s side took an early lead through Lionel Messi but then found it tough going against a lively home side who equalised through Jan Boril.

Barcelona restored their lead in fortuitous circumstances when Luis Suarez’s effort from a tight angle went in via Slavia’s Peter Olayinka to gift the visitors all three points.

Busquets spoke about the win after the match and highlighted just how difficult the hosts had made life for the Spanish champions.
