Las Palmas coach: Only snipers can stop Messi

"Las Palmas" coach Quique Setien joked before the match with "Barcelona" that stopping Lionel Messi is almost impossible - only snipers in the stands could do that. Preventing the Catalan star from wreaking havoc on the field this season is once again particularly difficult - in 32 Spanish league matches, he has scored an impressive 35 goals and provided 12 assists. The accuracy of the Argentine's shots is the best in all "La Liga" competitions, and his team still has real chances to compete for the title of champions. "With a few snipers in the stands," - when asked how to stop Messi and "Barca," Setien replied. "When these players are in top form, they are unstoppable, and when they are together - Messi, Neymar, and Suarez - no one can stop their effectiveness." "We will see, maybe during the match they will doze off a bit, which is really the only thing we can hope for." The clash between "Las Palmas" and "Barcelona" will start tonight at 9 p.m. Lithuanian time.
