"If you want to get to Barcelona in secret, you can. It's very easy." With Barca in heavy debt and trying to convince six-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi to remain with the club beyond this summer, Balague said talks with prolific 20-year-old Haaland is a statement that the Catalan side "don't want to stop competing" with Europe's best.

Victory saw Barcelona move up to fifth, while Atletico Madrid are now the league leaders on goal difference from Real Sociedad. Willian Jose gave the visitors the perfect start, converting Portu's pass in the 27th minute, but Barcelona hit back, Jordi Alba levelling with an excellent curled strike four minutes later.
