The Espanyol stopper saved Messi's penalty in the second half
Espanyol goalkeeper Diego Lopez, one of the protagonists of the 1-0 win for his side over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, spoke after the game. He saved a Lionel Messi penalty in the second half.
"Any penalty is difficult. More so against Leo Messi, who has this ability to pause and this quality. Today I came out as the winner," he said.
However he is not getting too excited yet, recalling Barcelona's 6-1 win over PSG in the Champions League to come from behind.
"We saw Barcelona last year come back from 4-0 down. We have a very narrow advantage. It will be very difficult.
