The Catalan giants recorded their first win in three games as they cruised past Azulones at the Nou Camp to extend their lead at the top of La Liga to 12 points.
It took just six minutes for the hosts to open the scoring through Alexis Sanchez, before Lionel Messi continued his incredible goal-scoring form to double Barca's lead.
David Villa added a third just shy of the hour mark, with contributions from Cristian Tello, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique rounding off the rout.
"It's strange but certainly positive to have six goals with six different scorers," Roura said in his post-match summation. "We are very happy with the performance of the team because so many players had just come from playing with their national team. As a group they played extraordinarily well."
He added: "Alex Song had an incredible game and we have to highlight how solid he was. Sanchez is a much loved and respected member of the squad. Today he scored a good goal and that has given him confidence.
"In the past few games he was a little anxious but he has a great capacity to work hard. His fight and the pressure he applies is contagious and he is very important for us."
Roura also praised the roughly 85,000 in attendance for the Blaugrana's first midday kick-off at home in nearly 50 years.
"I would like to thank the fans today because it is a unusual kick-off time. There was a great atmosphere, I saw a lot of kids and I think it has been a nice day for everyone."
