Barcelona shipped another four at the weekend in their game with Deportivo, which they won 5-4.

"The number of goals conceded has risen," said Vilanova. "But we are also the team who has scored the most (24) and sometimes this compensates.

"When we aren't able to score as many goals that's when we'll have problems. I would prefer to win scoring the most possible goals and not conceding any but when it comes down to it, I just want to win."
