-
SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona head coach (on taking part in a friendly match celebrating 100 years since the birth of Nelson Mandela):
"Mandela is one of the greatest people not only in this country so to play in a game that was celebrating him for us was a great honour to have this invitation and for our club, for everyone of us, for the players, the technical staff too."SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona head coach (on Lionel Messi being sick):
"He had a bit of a problem but we knew he could play a few minutes for the fans here and for everyone but we still have to finish the season and this was a moment to rest some players. But he (Messi) had some problems but could still play some minutes today in the game."
