Marc Casado was happy to be on the scoresheet for the first time on Sunday as Barcelona ran out 4-0 winners against Real Sociedad.

The midfielder was back in the team and made it 2-0 when he diverted Dani Olmo’s shot past the goalkeeper in the first half.

Casado admitted afterwards his goal was “a bit ugly” and that, like Gerard Martin, he’d received a bit of stick in the dressing room.

“My teammates told me that I wasn’t going to score this season but I’m very happy to get my first one with this shirt,” he told reporters.
