The international Spanish has left a sentence that defines to perfection to the '10', to the that is not the first time that suffers: "I have confronted Me in several occasions to him and all know what can do Messi, but afterwards anybody can stop him because it is the best of the world".

"You do not have to him leave think, do what he wants to, but a thing is the theory and another the practice. When you see it by the TV, think that you can stop him, but afterwards in the field no and go a second by behind him", has recognised.

It is complicated, play home yes, but have in in front of one of the best teams of the world. It goes to be very difficult, but will have our opportunities to go to by the three points".

"Historically the Barcelona always has suffered here and ojalá that this year go back to do it and the statistical follow favourable to the Real. We go to try pornérselo difficult, our idea is to go out of face and tighten, not to leave them the ball, because if you give it to him then yes that, with the players that have, finish marking you and winning you. We will have to be defensivamente very well and put the occasions that have", has added.
