Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola claimed that his side were "masters of the beautiful game" after their 2-1 win over Real Sociedad.
Goals from Cristian Tello and Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp have kept Barca seven points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid.
"We could have drawn today, but we have generated a lot of play and we have again become masters of the beautiful game, creating many chances. We have played another very good game," Guardiola told reporters.
"Cristian [Tello] is a winger, a bullet. He is very fast and does well in one-on-one situations. He's a very young kid that will eventually mature, but so far he has done very well.
"Congratulations must also go to Isaac [Cuenca] and [Jonathan] Dos Santos for the big game performance they put on, because it is not easy to perform as they did."
Barcelona next host Valencia in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Wednesday.
