Ernesto Valverde knows better than anyone that Barcelona's performances so far this season haven't been up to scratch.
But the Catalans' coach has emphasised the importance of winning games even when they're not playing well.
"The positive is that we won from a losing position," he said after their 2-1 win at Leganes.
"I recognise that we haven't been brilliant, but these games have to be won."
Barcelona played at Butarque in tricky conditions, and Valverde doesn't think his side were helped by the weather.
"It was complicated," he said.
"Made difficult by the conditions of the pitch and the day.
"It was windy, the pitch wasn't good and they put it to us."
But overall Valverde was happy to take three points more than they managed at Butarque last season.
"We won, and last year we lost," he explained.
"It's hard to play here because they make it tough.
"They're compact and value every point. Today was a big test and you have to win at these stadiums.
"Now we have a different challenge [against Borussia Dortmund]."

Barcelona have got the best of players but the worst of fans. don't give support to your team and coaches and think some others will do that for you! Barcelona is never known to fire their coaches. let that be known to you and let it sink into your understanding. Valverde will step down only at the end of the season. so if you know and you want the best from Barcelona, support the coach. stop being abusive and give your all to your team. Barcelona is doing well and will hit form at the appropriate and right time. go and check, Liverpool lost almost all their away champions league games last season only to pick up form at the right time. all the times Real Madrid won their UCL laurels, they were not the best playing team. Barcelona was and did not win the UCL. now, we are not playing well but we are focused. it is important to note that.
