Barcelona president Sandro Rosell says their amazing form so far this season is down to offloading Zlatan Ibrahimovic to AC Milan. The Swede quit Barca for Milan in the final days of the market in a loan deal.
Rosell declared: "It was an act of courage of which we feel very proud.
"It was the most important decision for all it led to: the good of the first team, the group has improved and the game also. Fantastic.
"As a business it was not so good (because of the lack of an initial fee). But for the team and Pep (Guardiola) it has been very good."
