Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Russian champions Rubin Kazan after condemning them to a 2-0 loss at the Camp Nou.
Barca hosted Rubin the final round of the Champions League group stages on Tuesday, having already clinched the top spot in Group D.
Guardiola fielded an inexperienced line-up without the likes of Andreas Iniesta, Dani Alves, David Villa and Xavi, but their replacements - many drawn from Barca's second team, Barcelona B - performed admirably nonetheless.
