Barcelona defender Dani Alves was thrilled with his side's positive start to the La Liga season after running out 5-1 winners over Real Sociedad.
In Tito Vilanova's first competitive match in charge, Barcelona were quickly ahead through a Carles Puyol header, before being briefly pegged back to 1-1 by a fine Gonzalo Castro strike.| # | Player | Bookings |
