        Dani Alves praises Barcelona defense

                         

“Sometimes we’re exposed at the back when we all attack at the same time, but we defended their counterattacks well. We did a pretty good job,” the Brazil international was quoted as saying on the official Barcelona website.He added, “It had been a while since we’d kept a clean sheet and we’re happy that we managed to do that against Spartak. I’m especially pleased for Víctor [Valdes].“We played really well going forward and we put in a good defensive performance, but the important thing is how the whole team played.”
