Paco Lopez, Levante: "Throughout a season there are very few sides who can beat Barcelona.

"That year, on the penultimate weekend of the season, no one had been able to beat them and we did it. Things have to go perfectly [to win] with the support and help of the 22,000.

"A plan to deal with Messi? That is impossible. I have not seen any team who has found that magic potion.

"There are no longer remedies for what he does. We have to put in a good collective shift."To stop Barcelona and Messi, you have to be perfect."

Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona: "Our thinking is always to be at the top of the league table. It's true that we did not start well and that we lacked in some aspects of the game.

"Players are back from injuries now, but there lies a very long way ahead of us
