Having conceded a glut of goals in the season's opening exchanges, a well-earned blank away in Belarus was just what the Catalans' Argentine midfielder wanted to see
Javier Mascherano has admitted Barcelona have had defensive problems in the opening months of the 2015-16 campaign and was happy to keep a clean sheet in the 2-0 Champions League win over BATE on Tuesday.
The Catalan giants had kept just two clean sheets in their opening 13 fixtures of the season before the away win on Tuesday, conceding four goals against both Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla back in August.
Barca looked solid in defence against BATE though, and Mascherano is hopeful they can keep improving in the weeks to come.
"We had a lot of chances against BATE and we allowed them few. That is a good thing because we have had defensive problems before," Mascherano told Barcelona's official website. (GOAL)
