Busquets delighted with Malaga win after last season's struggles
The midfielder said Barça had to win the game on Saturday
Barça dropped five points against Malaga in La Liga last year
Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets gave a lot of importance to the three points picked up against Malaga "because we have to be strong at home. Last year we gave up five points against Malaga and early on we dropped a lot of points, too, like against Alaves, so these are three really important points."
Busquets began the game in midfield but was given a rest late on, replaced by Paulinho for the final minutes.

Busi insisted that it was a day "when we had to win" and recognised "scoring the early goal relaxed us" while speaking to Barça TV.
He added: "In the first half we struggled because they had chances to score, but after the break they dropped the intensity.
"Now we've got a tough run of games away from home, in the Copa del Rey, the league and the Champions League (Murcia, Athletic Club, Olympiakos)..."
