Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has said that he does not yet know if the point gained away to Rubin Kazan is a good result or not but added that his side must win their last two group games and admitted that the Russian outfit were very difficult to break down in their Group F UEFA Champions League clash.

"We will not know if the point today is good or bad until the end, but it is a matter of pulling out the calculator because we know we must win the last two games," Guardiola said afterward.

The coach declared that his Barca side were "very good in the first half" but acknowledged that the Russian champions, like many Eastern European and Russian sides, are very well organized.

"The teams in this area are good and play very well organized. Sometimes, it is very difficult to attack when there are ten guys in there. This team is devoted to it and whether we like it or not, they do it very, very well, with constant support, closing down space and then counterattacking very fast," the Blaugrana coach remarked.

The champions still have a home tie against Inter before a testing trip to cold climates once again against Dynamo Kiev in the final group game in December.
