Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola insists their Super Cup double in preseason counts for nothing as they kickoff the new campaign against Villarreal.
The European triumph was the 12th title Barca have won since Guardiola took charge in 2008, and few would bet against the Catalan giants increasing that tally this season.
Guardiola is not getting carried away though, saying following his side's triumph over Porto: "We've won two titles and we are very happy with that, now the league will show us if we continue to be as competitive as we have been in recent years.
"This team have to show again what we have shown over the last few seasons. We have made a good start and now we have to get down to the day-to-day work."
He added: "There's always room for improvement. I have to be on alert - that's an obligation of the manager. It takes a long time to build a team and just a moment for it to fall apart."
