The midfielder was happy with the team's showing without Leo in Milan

Sergio Busquets was satisfied after Barcelona's 1-1 draw at the San Siro against Inter, a result which booked their place in the next round of the Champions League. 

Having done it without Lionel Messi, too, he says is good for the team's confidence: "The whole team has taken a step forward without our best player in recent games, save against Rayo. But we hope he's back as soon as possible." 

Busquets also spoke about Malcom, who came on as a substitute to score his first Barça goal in the draw in Milan. 

"We're really happy with Malcom because he's a great kid, he's working hard and he's fighting to win his place in the team." 

On the game in general, he added: "The first half was really good and complete, but in the second half it was more open and they pressed us more."
