Zlatan Ibrahimovic has paid tribute to his Barcelona teammates after scoring in the Catalan side's 2-0 win at Getafe.

The Swedish ace, who had scored on his league debut for Barca in their 3-0 win over Sporting Gijon a fortnight ago, paid back a little more of his 66million euro transfer fee by opening the scoring after 65 minutes.

The former Inter Milan hitman then turned provider to set up Messi for Barca's second 12 minutes from time as last season's treble winners came out on top in the battle between the leading two sides from the opening round of fixtures.

Despite his own virtuoso display, Ibrahimovic was quick to highlight the contributions of those around him - especially Andres Iniesta and Messi.

"They make it easy for you," he told Sport.

"They open spaces up and defences do not know which one to mark."

Ibrahimovic returns to former employers Inter for a Group F Champions League clash on Wednesday, and rather ominously for Jose Mourinho's men, the Swede has hinted that his best has yet to come.

"I am very pleased to have scored two goals, but the most important thing is to reach the rhythm," he decalred.

"I am not at a hundred percent yet, but I am getting there.

"The match against Inter will be a very special and difficult game for me, because I spent three years there and have great memories.

"I am, however, very pleased to be returning with another team."
