The Barcelona boss responded to another question about Messi

Lionel Messi has played 90 minutes in every game since La Liga resumed and Quique Setien is regularly asked about if he is going to rest. The Barça coach, slightly annoyed, was asked again on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's game against Osasuna and said that "we have already spoken about the issue." 

And that's it. There's no game in which the Barça No.10 doesn't appear. "Many players probably need a rest because it's true that the figures are the same, but everyone is losing that little spark." 

In relation to Messi, who's scored one in his last seven games, Setien added: "Maybe some records aren't the same when compared to other years. But we all know who Messi is. He doesn't need a presentation. If it's not goals, it's assists. But he's a footballer of a stratospheric level. Everything that can be said about him, I have already said."
