Pep Guardiola reckons there is no reason to be alarmed after Barcelona were held to a 0-0 draw by Valencia.

Guardiola's charges seemed tired and short of ideas throughout the 90 minutes while Valencia took the game to the champions.

The charismatic coach was a calm figure after the game and is already looking forward to the next game which is Tuesday night's Champions League match against Rubin Kazan.

He told Marca, "It was a good point against a good opponent."

"We came to win, but we did not because we created difficulties for ourselves. We are incapable of winning all 38 games.

"The league is a process, and we are stable. They created problems for us in the first half, but we were better in the second, against a team that causes us problems last year.

"I do not believe that teams know us better now."

Swedish striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic started the game as a substitute but will most likely regain his starting berth on Tuesday night.
