Speaking after 4-0 win over Elche, Barca manager Tata Martino shared his thoughts:
"It was between Alexis and Neymar. Alexis was in better condition and we have to pick one of the two. We tried to figure out who was in better condition to play."
"Pedro is a player that can win any manager over. He always has answers for the team. He's a player who can assist; he can score goals; he's generous with his team-mates. It's hard for us to leave him on the bench."
"We have a lot of intelligent players and Cesc is one of the best at interpreting the game. He knows when he should help his team-mates and he gives great passes; he always finds just the right space."
On Messi return
"The best player in the world will have an impact on the team. We'll be even better."

has done a great job so far this season, in my estimation. I hope he keeps it up... he has gained my confidence and faith this past few months. He doesn't always do what seems to be the smartest thing, but I'm sure he has his reasons... and overall the positives far outweigh the negatives in my book.
