Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola says new signing Alexis Sanchez was "outstanding" on his debut during their Spanish Supercopa first leg 2-2 draw with Real Madrid.
The Chilean winger joined the Catalan side for £33million from Udinese in the summer and played the full 90 minutes in Sunday's draw with Madrid.
Speaking to the club's official website, Guardiola said Sanchez had "made a very good impression" on him and "did an outstanding job on both wings."
"He helped a lot and I'm very satisfied. It would have been harder without him," he said.
He also added that he had been thoroughly impressed by Mourinho's team.
"Madrid were very impressive. They are always a very hard team to play. We worked very hard and that's the result we got. There was a lot of danger in this match, and but we managed to stay compact," Guardiola said.
The Spanish Supercopa second leg will be played on Wednesday in Barcelona.
