Messi rested for the first time this season in LaLiga
The Barça forward has started every game of this league campaign but has been rested twice in the Champions League.

Rotations
The big news ahead of the Catalan derby between Espanyol and Barcelona was Barcelona's rotations, in particular Leo Messi being left on the bench. The Barça striker had not missed a kick in LaLiga this season, disputing 1,890 minutes and scoring 20 goals in the process. However, Barça coach Ernesto Valverde had other ideas for the derby, possibly in view of Real Madrid's latest slip-up on Saturday night.
