Las Palmas defender recalls "accidental" play, sends message to injured Lionel Messi

We're now close to two weeks without Lionel Messi after the Barcelona superstar got injured in a league game againstLas Palmas in a Saturday afternoon at Camp Nou. The play itself is a weird one, and we now can hear from the guy who took part on that play.

Las Palmas defender Pedro Bigas spoke this week about the now infamous challenge in which he kicked the ball at the same time as the Argentinian star, and the impact of the clash ended up tearing a ligament in Messi's left knee, an injury that will keep him out for approximately two months.
