The Levante coach spoke ahead of the clash with the Catalans this weekend

Levante coach Paco López said on Friday his team would try and make things difficult for Barcelona this weekend, as they always try to do.

"Two seasons ago we hit the post with Bardhi, that could have been 1-1 and last season we scored the 2-1 in the 88th minute," said Lopez. "For many teams it's not easy to get points at Camp Nou.

"Despite the sensation that thy're not at their best, I'd put that in inverted commas because if you look at their league games they score four against Villarreal, five against Real Betis, four past Osasuna. That shows the great difficulty of playing Barcelona at their stadium."

Paco Lopez added that Messi "is still the best player in the world" because "with this talent and quality with just one move they can decide a game" and he admitted that the team must be strong throughout because "out of nothing they generate a goalscoring chance".

"We know our plan clearly, but it's not just what you want to do, but what they let you do."
