What They're Saying

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique (via Inside Spanish Football): "I remember that Messi waited for his turn with Ronaldinho, and now the others wait. It's something the players decide between them, they have freedom. We have good shooters, like Ivan [Rakitic], Xavi or Neymar, but for me it seems good that there's respect for the roles and the hierarchies."

Espanyol midfielder Victor Sanchez (via Inside Spanish Football): "In the previous years, Barcelona hadn't yet lost at this point of the season and now they have. And moreover, they've played matches in which they've suffered. Opponents have created more chances and hopefully, with our weapons, we can hurt them."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Even with a litany of talent surrounding him, Lionel Messi remains the club's main facilitator in 2014. In 13 league appearances, the 27-year-old has a club-best seven assists and an average of 2.9 key passes.

Barcelona's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Bravo; Alba, Mathieu, Pique, Alves; Mascherano, Busquets, Xavi; Suarez, Neymar, Messi

Espanyol's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Casilla; Fuentes, Colotto, Baily, Arbilla; Sevilla, Canas, Sanchez, Vazquez; Garcia, Caicedo
